Hi
I've only just joined.
I spend the bulk of my time in denial trying to ignore the fact I have a J-pouch, which apart from a lot of trips to the loo is not actually that difficult.
Over the last 3 years I've found after a 30+ minute run I have quite a large amount of blood come out of my bum when I first go for a visit when I get home.
Earlier this summer while training for my second Ironman Triathlon(11hrs 51 min - did first one sub 11 hrs back in 2007 with an ileostomy) this happened a lot and my ferritin ended up low and I was at the bottom end of normal for my Haemoglobin (UK spelling).
I gave in and got scoped yesterday. This has shown a 3cm sloughy ulcer in the pouch. Cuff and anastamosis all OK. Biopsies taken and results awaited.
Anyone got similar experience and/or advice? (other than stop running!)
