Pouchitis: What It Is, Symptoms, Cause…
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15484-pouchitis
Treatment recommendations First-line treatment for acute pouchitis is a two-week course of antibiotics. If it doesn’t work, your provider will try a longer course with a different antibiotic, or a combination. If you still have symptoms after four weeks, you have antibiotic-resistant pouchitis. Treatment with multi-strain probiotics following an antibiotic course is suggested for preventing recurrent pouchitis. Cyclical or near continuous antibiotic therapy is suggested to treat pouchitis that responds to antibiotics but recurs frequently and shortly after antibiotics are discontinued. In patients with recurrent pouchitis that doesn’t respond to antibiotics or Crohn’s-like disease of the pouch, advanced immunosuppressive medications are suggested. AGA suggests cyclical or near continuous antibiotic therapy to treat pouchitis that responds to antibiotics but recurs frequently and shortly after antibiotics are discontinued.
