Hi everyone, about 4 years ago I had the surgery to remove my colon and go to the j-pouch. Since then I have had a constant battle with fissures. My doctor says is it not pouchitis but frequent fissures. I am on a diltiazem 5% gel, but seem to continuously get the fissures. Anyone else experience this and offer a better long term solution? Thanks!

what are you eating.? fiberous foods can do this to you..you need to maybe cut out real fiberous foods and drink lots of water..
Watch the straining when trying to empty your pouch, too.
Get a bidet toilet seat! I almost never get them anymore since I got mine!
