Pouch - Arthritis connection? | The J-Pouch Group

My Gastro mentioned to me today that theoretically he thinks if I had an ileostomy instead of a j-pouch I wouldn't have the same kind of arthritic joint pain that i suffer from.

Is this true? Does anyone know someone that has had pouch + arthritis and then switched to an ileostomy and their arthritis magically disappeared?

I think this is probably nonsense. If someone’s pouch were chronically inflamed then there might possibly be some consequences elsewhere in the body, I suppose. It will be interesting if anyone here reports the magical experience you described.
