Thanks Pat I did get more caths so no reusing!!! Your very sweetto offer yours.
I called all the reps like you said you are one smart lady!!
Well maybe pouchitis (what are the symptoms) Bactrim does seem to help me its when Im off that all the problems start.
remember the culture from the SP infection well I showed it to my intern and he said that Bactrim may work but it really showed I needed IV antibiotic (amikacin,ertapenem,gentamicin,imipenem) these showed susectiblity. Ill make Dr S look at cultute this tues I dont think he even looked last time just said stay on bactrim and augementen which My intern took me off because it was resistant and wouldnt work anyway. This is really a mess. I guess nothing is ever easy. Julie

Bactrim a mean drug..maybe they should take a culture and see what it is thats affecting you. Bactrim in itself can cause abdominal cramping and since your pouch still thinks its a bowel its reacting also.....just a theory. And do not reuse the caths...i know you're out but allegro will send very quickly or i'll send you some ..give me your address on a PM.

Maybe Pouchitis?...hope Dr. S figures it out for your sake

I am having these cramps in abdomen pouch area again!! it feels like I need to cath!!! I can cath my pouch and after 1 hr feels sore and bloated like I need to cath again. (if i do cath very little urine so I AM emptying) but it feels better for a few minutes. I cant tell if this is my bowels or pouch. Im taking miralax 1 tbsp a day for stools and I go a few times every day. I have been on bactrim DS most of the time since leaving the hospital. (first for stoma infection then stiches red and swollen then Sp infection then UTI) I have been out 2 and 1/2 months and only been off bactrim maybe 15 days and every time I go off these symptoms show up within 2 days with decreased urine output and cramping sore bloated abdomen and TONS of mucus!! I made appt this tues with Dr S and I will point out the antibiotic correlation but he or resident has been the one giving antibiotics.
Any ideas???? Julie
