Has anyone taken Entyvio for pouchitis?

I took Entyvio while I had ulcerative colitis. Unfortunately it did not work for me.

I ultimately got a total procto colectomy. I reviewed the option of a j-pouch with my CR surgeon and specifically discussed the potential for pouchitis. He said they would treat it with antibiotics, with Flagyl (metronidazole) being preferred

So I am not sure why you would be considering Entyvio unless it is more than the typical pouchitis and perhaps involves UC or Chrohn's in the pouch?

Thank you for your information. Have been on several antibiotics and biologics for pouchitis. None have worked, therefore doctor proposed entyvio.
