Inclusion Criteria

1. Age =18 and <70.
2. Ability to give informed consent.
3. IPAA for ulcerative colitis completed at least 4 months prior to inclusion in this study.
4. Episode of acute pouchitis, defined as a mPDAI = 5, and endoscopic subscore of = 2.
5. History of at least one earlier episode of pouchitis, which necessitated antibiotic treatment.
6. Women in their reproductive age period are required to use reliable contraception during participation in this study.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Pouchitis due to surgery-related conditions (i.e. abscess, fistula, sinus of the pouch), identified by endoscopic assessment of the pouch.
2. Crohn’s disease.
3. Patients with signs of severe systemic inflammation (at least two of the following symptoms: temperature > 38.5 °C, tachycardia > 100 bpm (after rehydration), systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg).
4. Patients with severe pouchitis on endoscopy who require immediate intervention, based on the discretion of the endoscopist.
5. Mechanical complications of the pouch (e.g. pouch stricture or pouch fistula).
6. Diverting ileostomy.
7. Condition leading to profound immunosuppression;
a. For example: HIV, infectious diseases leading to immunosuppression, bone marrow malignancies,
b. Use of systemic chemotherapy,
c. Child-Pugh B/C liver cirrhosis.
8. Use of systemic antibiotic therapy in the preceding 4 weeks.
9. Use of probiotic treatment in the preceding 4 weeks.
10. Use of concurrent anti-inflammatory drugs, e.g. thiopurines, anti-TNF, Vedolizumab. Ustekinumab, JAK-inhibitors, cyclosporine, methotrexate, prednisolone or topical treat-ment in the preceding 2 months before inclusion.
11. Life expectancy < 12 months.
12. Difficulty with swallowing.

14. Positive C. Difficile stool test
15. Positive dual faeces test for pathogenic parasites e.g. Dientamoeba histolytica, Giar-dia Lamblia, Dientamoeba fragilis, Blastocystis hominis only if microscopically many or very many blastocysts are seen.
16. Pregnancy or women who give breastfeeding.
17. Vasopressive medication, intensive care stay.
18. Signs of ileus, diminished passage.
19. Allergy to macrogol or substituents, e.g. peanuts, shellfish.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The proportion of patients in clinical and endoscopic remission at week 8
Secondary Outcome Measures
