Official Title: To Determine the Effect of Honey Enema in the Treatment of Patients With Acute Pouchitis (Pilot Study)
Brief Summary: Patients with a bowel condition called ulcerative colitis have bowel surgery in which a portion of their bowel is removed and the reconnected at the small bowel to the anus. Sometimes, after the surgery, this connection part, the pouch, would be inflamed in a condition called Acute Pouchitis. Physicians usually treat them by prescribing antibiotics; however, some patients do not respond and need additional surgery. In this study, we will test an alternative treatment for this complication by performing manuka honey enemas twice a day for 30 days. This is a pilot study and ten patients will undergo enema treatment.
