Diet after take down

ML604Member

After my takedown surgery I had severe cramps for a long time. My surgeon then believed it was pouchitis and prescribed me 2 weeks of meds. After 3 days off the meds- the cramps and frequency was back. He then gave me 6 more weeks of meds... I stopped taking them after 2 weeks and changed my diet to gluten free.

Has anyone else had to eat gluten free after takedown? I've never had a problem before but now if I cheat on my diet I pay for it for the next 3 or 4 days.

Is this normal? Will I have to be gluten free forever?

I was gluten sensitive after my reversal and eliminated it for about 6 weeks. I gradually added it back and have not had gluten issues since. Wheat caused me terrible cramping and gas.
