Reply to "30 year + pouchers"

Pouch is turning 32 and it's been a great, ahem, run.

I eat and drink whatever I want, and while my stool might loosen as a result, it is not uncontrollable nor is the burn usually unbearable. And, psychologically, I rationalize those little downturns with the knowledge that my pouch is not controlling me.

I've had a few bouts with pouchitis but it generally clears by itself after a few days, or if not, it responds to a Z-Pak like others have stated. There's been narrowing, at times, where the bottom of the pouch connects to my anal ring but the occasional appointments with me GI keep those at bay.

Yes, every case is different and this board tends to showcase 'issues' rather than success stories, but I would not have it any other way.
