Re: Reverse the Procedure

I have had chronic pouchitis since i got my z-pouch and have to go on prescription meds (cipro) once a week. I have multiple bowel movements a day and it is a struggle. I am thinking about reversing my j-pouch and going to a bag. Does anyone have thoughts on this good or bad? Thank you.

Any ileostomy (including a J-pouch) will require multiple toilet visits per day. A well-functioning J-pouch typically has to be emptied 4-6 times per day, but an external appliance also requires plenty of maintenance. I have to be on Cipro every day, but it doesn’t cause me any major problems, and I consider it much better in my case than an external appliance. YMMV.
