Has anyone heard about this - I was just told that this is something to clean your pouch out so you can start again and figure out what foods work and what do not. Any opinions?

I've not heard of the diet but you can easily just stop eating for 24 hours and your pouch should be completely empty.

Never heard of it Berthie,
But I would be very careful (and get my doctor's approval prior to trying any diet that has me fasting for 48hrs or more)...are you allowed fluids? Which ones? Is there sufficient hydration in the diet? What about vits and minerals?? Electrolytes?
I just believe that you need to be very careful of any diet that could put your pouch/health in danger...if your doc green lights it then let us know.

So here is my concern about it:
This is a diet designed for folks with a colon. While I doubt it is dangerous, you WILL have plenty of diarrhea, so I don't see why you'd want to subject yourself to it unless you were planning on being scoped or something. The "detox" claim is nonsense.
The ingredients are pretty much just fruit juices, known to cause diarrhea if that is all you consume. There is zero protein in this stuff, all carbs for calories. What is the sense in that?

If your goal is to reset to a "baseline" to begin an elimination diet, so that you can determine food intolerances, you are better off just limiting your intake to water and a liquid supplement, such as Ensure, for a few days. No need for a "Miracle Diet."

This is the diet the stars use to drop weight so they can fit into their size 0 dress for the red carpet. I wouldn't do this with a j pouch.
thank you all so much - it's not for me - it's someone else who claimed they heard this was good and I KNEW it was not!! Just wanted to make sure I was right...you never know. I did call her out on it and she is not doing it...thankfully
