I suffered with pouchitis for over a year after my surgery.  Constant bouts of incontinence and pressure pain only slightly helped by sitting.  My dear Gastro Dr. sent me to his mentor about 600 miles away.  He checked me out(scope) and said, You should be on a high protein, low fiber diet.  No caffeine and no sugar.  Sugar is very bad, causes inflammation.  This has helped me tremendously!

I had my J-pouch "installed" circa 2002...and was feeling great after the rehab...back to a normal life...had pouchitis a few years back and was put on some meds for a little. Then I got off them and haven't been on meds for years. Recent colonoscopy biopsy showed some inflammation in pouch and small intestine...here's the kicker...I feel great with NO symptoms...I only did the oscopy as I hadn't done one in over 10 years....I'm 35 now. I've read that Turmeric is one of the most anti-inflammatory super foods you can ingest...and I warm it in almond milk with some ginger root pieces, cinnamon, and raw honey. I say give it a try and see if it works.....2 ,3 cups a day. I know the docs will try to prescribe Flagyl or whatever else big pharma suggests they push....my stance is to take it for 1-2 weeks...while sipping on the above, and slowly wean myself off the drugs.

Curious....anyone here tried the "Anti-Inflammatory Diet [AID]" to see if it has reduced or eliminated symptoms? I eat healthy 80% of the time [salmon, ahi tuna, kale, beets, greek yoghurt, sauerkraut, chicken, eggs, pomegranate, chia seeds, etc]...but do have my cheat days with pizza and beer...would be interested to hear feedback if the A.I.D.

OH...one more thing I just added to my diet.....do some research on "Redmond Clay"...I take it in a glass of water every other day...supposed to help remove toxins and garbage from the body.
