Hey all,
I have been struggling with recurrent pouchitis. Currently have another bout of it and GI wants to do a pouch scope. I respond well to Cipra for it still, but my GI didn't prescribe any for it this time.
Any diet tips/general tips on what I should be eating/taking for the pouchitis in the meantime to make me a little more comfortable while I wait for the scope?
Thanks!

A very low carbohydrate diet sometimes helps, but it seems to take a long time to do so, so it might not give you timely results. Potent probiotics, like VSL #3 or Visbiome can also help, but they also don’t work immediately and are expensive. Good luck!
I hear a lot on here about a low carb diet, it seems to work pretty good I hear.
Foods: Definitely yogurt, Greek in particular 
Oatmeal is excellent too- oatmeal is a prebiotic food and helps boost up probiotics to work better
**Greek Yogurt is on sale at Publix for Buy One Get One Free** Stock up 
Reduce sugars and carbs if you have not done so already.
