My daughter has had the Jpouch since last August and with the exception of some cuffitis and a little fissure it's been okay. She does not eat well - she eats lots of fried foods and garbage (IMHO). The only thing as far as food goes that she does right is that she drinks plenty of fluids. Honestly the couple of comments have given me hope that this might be a one time thing or not a lifetime thing. While she will say I have no idea what it's like because I don't have the jpouch, my logic and all the comments I read on here tell me she needs to have a better diet. Cut out the fried crap she eats. Still waiting for the bloodwork so we will see what happens.
