Reply to "Can’t Do Takedown"

Doug, I’m in no way minimizing the impact of frequent bowel movements - this would be a big deal, though purely speculative right now. Unfortunately (in this speculative high-output scenario) you’d also face rather frequent emptying of an ostomy bag as the alternative. Both require regular access to a bathroom, at whatever frequency your output dictates. In either case (J-pouch or end ileostomy) your actual output is likely to be appreciably lower than with the loop. It’s way too early to start counting bathroom trips, I think.
