Reply to "Acute pouchitis turned into Crohns"

What worries me when I hear Crohns is the fact the disease involves the entire digestive track. I hear folks who have crohns can develop ulcers in mouth, gut, small intestine as well. How likely is that?

You have what you have, if those things didn't happen before they are not likely to happen now. Your mindset is that you "developed" something "new" in your body, but in reality a new label was slapped on something you have likely had in your body for a very long time. I have carried a possible Crohn's diagnosis for 15 years and have had ulcerated areas in my J Pouch for 25. Those issues have been kept under control. I don't have ulcers in my mouth and never did. There isn't much more to say except that treatment will either work or not no matter what disease you have, so the focus should be on treatment and not labeling what you have.
