Re: Diversion pouchitis / colitis

Saff

Hi all,

I had my pouch disconnected about 5 yrs ago following chronic pouchitis. I have had a good run since then, but now I feel like the symptoms of UC are back to haunt me. I have abdominal pain (shooting down to rectum area), quite a lot of pinkish discharge, urgency to go to loo even though I'm not connected. I feel like my body wants to eject whats left of the cuff. I will book in to see my doctor tomorrow but from a few posts I have read it sounds like the treatment options for this aren't looking positive.. does anyone have any insight into successful treatments / management options ? Do you think I am heading towards the final surgery (pouch removal)?
