I am a 66 year woman. I have had it with this Jpouch! Two years of frequency, spasms, leakage and up to 20 BMs a day. The efficacy of Flagyl alternating with Augmentin no longer works. I have used Hydrocortisone suppositories and pentasa suppositories to no avail. I have secondary Addisons's from years on Prednisone. I remain on corticosteroids low dose to replace adrenal function. I had a positive TB test and am not a candidate for biologics. I do sports which have been very compromised over the past 2 years to say nothing of my social life which takes a huge hit.
At what point have others decided enough is enough and went back to an end ileostomy?
Thank you.
Gail
