Smoking or Vaping with J-pouch,

Topics

I smoked for nearly 20 years and tried repeatedly to quit for about 3 years before all the surgery and j-pouch. Every time I would quit I would have a flair up and start smoking again. Finally I had the flare-up of all flare-ups and wound up in the hospital and now I have my pouch. I quit smoking cigarettes about 18 months ago and have since started vaping. I have not done any research regarding nicotine and the affect on gut motility or gastrointestinal transit time. Wondering if any one else smokes or vapes?

Nicotine does seem to help with UC, so your history fits with the research. I'm not aware of any research describing benefits for J-pouchers, though.
