I would like to try and help others who may feel the same. I've had my J pouch for 2 years now and sometimes I feel tired and light headed and can't be bothered to do anything at all. Also my knees become weak and click a lot. I noticed when I'm like this I start to crave raw finely shredded cabbage from the local take away. It's the type u would get with a donner kebab. I stuff my face with this stuff even though I know it will send my bowels crazy but by the next morning I feel fantastic. I've started to realise that there is something in this that is doing me good so I did a little google research. I found that cabbage is rich in vitamin K. Vitamin K if you google it is so good for your bones, immune system, and other things. We store vitamin K in our liver we also produce some of it in our intestines. So my thoughts are that I have ran out of vitamin k and needed a mega boost of the stuff. To feel so good the next day after my binge and my knees not hurting I must have given my body what it was crying out for. From now on I'm going to make sure I have the shredded cabbage from the local take away at least once a week. Also if you try this out make sure it is very finely shredded so it is quite soft and raw so your intestines have more of a chance of absorbing all the goodness but beware it does give you wind but a small price to pay for a healthier body.
