Hello Friends it’s been two months today since take down. Overall, I am feeling okay back to work, and living a good life. 

Problems are in the form of butt burn. I have taken the forms advice and use a small water squirter to clean my hole. Next I use Calmospetime cream which makes a huge difference. My question is will this be something I have to do forever. When does the Jpouch start to take care of acid? 

Also, my stomach extends at times when I eat, and or drink alcohol. Do I just need to go on an intense diet for it to stop hurting. I still have and feel some firm spots in my stomach, but still going to the restroom okay. I take Imodium, acid reducer and Metamucil. How long will this need to happen. Should I just stop drinking alcohol completely? 

Thank you!
