Hi everyone
I had my j-pouch surgery in 2010
Ive had to give up certain foods unless I can get help with too much incontinence at night and also gas from certain healthy foods.
Sure, foods like rice, potaoes, pasta help. But variety is the spice of life and i miss certain foods. Like Broccoli, Cauliflower, Legumes such as peas, and beans etc. I also seem to have an aversion to bell peppers, raw or cooked.
Is there a way to enjoy truly ALL foods and have a full diet? That's what a GI told me way back when I was first hospitalized with UC. Guess he was lying? How do you enjoy foods that cause trouble such as gas and incontinence??
Sure wished I knew then what I know now. I would have kept my colon even to the death. Seriously. Quality of life beets quantity any day.
Oh and if this helps anyone you should check into getting a bidet. Wiping is a no no. and when traveling you can use different things to spray water up there and then pat dry.
anyways I sure wished i could eat certain foods without problems. Seems there must be a way. Thanks.
