I’ve had my pouch for 33 years and don’t take any medication for it at all ( I take Cymbalta for joint pain from Avascular Necrosis and arthritis but nothing else related to UC or J-Pouch)….I probably go 8-10 times a day but have complete control and can hold it for long periods of time if I can’t get to a bathroom. I agree with bidet being so helpful!!! Didn’t know there were travel bidets…where do you find those?
