Reply to "Chronic Pouchitis 12+ stools/day after over a year"

Hi, Mike. That’s a tough situation. Do you think the Humira is doing *anything* for you?

One thing you could try is dramatically reducing all carbohydrates. Some folks with Chronic Pouchitis get a good result from that, but it takes determination and patience.

Another thing that might help is VSL #3. I take a maximal dose, and it seems to help me substantially. 

Finally, are you using any soluble fiber, like Metamucil/psyllium? That doesn’t cure pouchitis, but for some people can help a fair amount, by bulking up the stool.
