I have problems with pouchitis: Any long-term solution?

Welcome @borna02. I added your question to the Ostomy support group too (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/ostomy/).
It sounds like you're having a struggle with bowel movements since having your stoma closed almost a year ago. And, of course, long term antibiotics hardly seems like a permanent solution. I wonder if @dval or @martinkda may have some experiences to share with you.
Mayo Clinic currently has 3 clinical trials open looking for treatment solutions:

Borma, do you also experience pain or is your main concern loose and frequent stools?

Fortunately, there is no pain and no blood in the stool. My biggest problem is loose and frequent stools and weight loss during periods when I have more than 10 stools.
