I just had a sigmoidoscopy and had a lot of inflammation and

hemmorhage. I didn't " ask " them to culture the pouch but they biopsied

it. I haven't gotten the results back, but would a biopsy include a

culture? Anyways they put me on Flagyl and I am not familar with the

other meds you mentioned. Any advice? Thanks Penny,

Jarad
