Very interesting. What struck me most, was not the fact that reducing fruit sugars and lactose in those shown to be intolerant (unable to fully digest) would reduce output and gas, but that there was no improvement in the presence of pouchitis. That bolsters the notion that these dietary changes will not treat pouchitis. If you have a positive effect, it is because you have IPS, not pouchitis.
Too bad it is such a small study and there was a signifigant drop out. But, still, it was well done and interesting.

Take a deep breath and relax; this too will pass.
