Thanks for the tips, I use Telfa mini island dressing 2x3 3/4" #7539LF to cover the opening. I get a case of 400 for under $70.00 I'm having problems with pouchitis again and I think it may be my diet. Never had problems like this before, the past 11 years I hardly got it, but now it keeps coming back. The antibiotics are difficult to take, Cipro and Flagyl, I hope it clears up.

Great blog. Very informative.

Hi Vanessa,
I found your blog very helpful to me. Even though I've had my Kock pouch for many years now, there are still things to learn from others like us. I think I might try to look for the water bottle & nursing pads you mentioned. Thanks! - Dixie

I have more tips that I need to add. I always remember things days after I write it out

A young kid reached out to me who is having a kpouch done in NYC and I felt it was time to write something up, especially to help him out.


Glad you like the blog. I try to blog 2 times a week.
