Hi, hope this message doesn't appear twice. Something went wrong last time. I haven't posted for ages. I have had a j-pouch for about six years but am finding it increasingly difficult to cope - rashes, pain, itching, incontinence and frequency. Am seriously considering a reversal. Has anyone had this or has any information on consequences etc. Really need some advice. Many thanks in advance, Possie
After 3 1/2 years of chronic pouchitis I had my pouch disconnected and an end ileo created. My ostomy was great but I still had pouchitis. 18 months later had the pouch out and life has been great ever since!! Last surgery was 2003. Have since had two kids. Eat what I want, do what I want and only take immodium if I need to manage output for an event or at night if I know I ate something that makes me speed up. Never a single moment of regret. Don't hesitate to ask questions!
