Christmas for us with J pouch can b dangerous. Most people over indulge & then confess a diet for New Year. I confess back to my diet. It tasted so good to eat the food that I k I can't eat. So tasty.
I realize more than ever that I can't eat normal food. I did go through a period of too much bathroom time & burning & pain over the Holidays. Have to detox & get back on track. Tis the season. Back to reality.

I eat normal foods, absolutely anything and everything and whenever I want.
Only side effect, is maybe night time bathroom visit when I've I eat late, like close to midnight.
Happy New Year...time to detox...I admit it...staying home over the holidays with ice cream Christmas logs, endless boxes of chocolate, rich and creamy cakes and savoury treats pretty much killed me this year.
I had 1 partial blockage the day after Xmas, am back on Probiotics since the 26th and think that I have put on at least 5lbs (the ones that I was supposed to lose).
But, within reason and considering the restrictions that K pouches have on fibres etc, I did pretty well.
It is the season to indulge and if I can't be a dietary idiot and go off of the deep end at least once a year (fine, weekly!) then what is the point?
I hope that you at least you enjoyed your indulgences!
Have a happy and healthy 2018.

That's great that u can eat anything, good for u. I never could even before J Pouch. Since my dx in 1998 and J pouch 2013.
Yeah, even before and since my diagnosis (UC) diet has never been an issue or ever been the cause of a flare up.
Before my J pouch, I had an ileostomy and was flare up and medication free throughout, well apart from taking Imodium to slow down my output.
In fact, the only food which caused me to dash to the toilet or to feel ill, was Strawberries and Cream, but only during a UC flare up; any other time, never a problem.
