Reply to "Chronic pouchitis for 16 years"

SteveGMember

My ileitis was found already 1 year after the pouch worked. It hasn't changed so much since then, there are some more fibrinous layers and pseudo-polyps.

The question is, why for some people the pouch works and for us there is a colitis-like inflammation. It is supposed, that the danger for chronic pouchitis / ileitis is higher if you had a colitis over the whole colon (I had even a backwash ilitis as the Bauhin's valve you mentioned was also affected by inflammation, and therefore a short piece of the ileum was removed during pouch surgery).
