Reply to "Fistula, incontinence, pouchitis, cuffitis - any hope?"

Hi Chicky,
First off so terribly sorry that you are suffering like this at a time when you should be busy enjoying your baby and having loads of fun with it...not dealing with leakage and fistulas...
Yes, the temp ileo is a good idea especially at the moment when your energy is down, your morale too and you are leaking constantly...it would take only a couple of days in hospital, you could eventually have your baby rooming in with you after the first night (they allow that sometimes now) and keep up your contact and breast feed while recovering without any guilt or seperation anxiety...
I would say that unless your pouch is very ill that they could allow it to rest for a while, let your fistula close and reconnect you at a future date when you are both prepared for it...
Hang in there..no one should have to go through this at this time of their life.
