Well i have been following this sight since 2009 when I had my J Pouch surgery. Since that time I have had many problems with pouchitis and pressure in the butt. I have been getting since the very beginning. I go see my surgeon yearly for a checkup and each time I am infected and I am not aware that I am. She puts me on cipro and gives me 4 refills for the year. I am on it again and it works until I reduce the amount. Within 3 days I am back in pain. I asked the surgeon what is causing it and she says they don't know but figure its an infection because the antibiotics take care of it. She says there are only a handful of people like me. She is suggesting that I may have to go back to the ileostomy for good! Can any of you give me some feedback on this. I do not want to go through that operation again!!!
