Hi everyone: just wanted to check in and say j-pouch life is good but definately challenging. I still have to be careful about what I eat, butt burn and gas are the main culprits. I have found that using pure cornstarch helps with the BB. I am working full time, thankfully the bathroom is all the way in the back of the building to give me much needed privacy at certain times. A year and a half ago I would have never thought I would be writing this......hang in there newbies it does get better.

That's great news! You may want to be careful with the corn starch. I'm glad it's helping, but that's food, and some microorganisms may treat it as a buffet.

Glad to hear you are well.

I agree with Scott about the cornstarch. You could develop a nasty yeast infection from using it. I've heard of that happening.
