Reply to "Chronic pouchitis for 16 years"

Hello Lauren,

that's of course an option. I've been recommended a temporary ileostomy first, so I could see if I get rid of inflammation and don't need to take drugs all the time. I could go back to the pouch if it has no success. In the long term a permanent bag would be the better solution compared to a temporary, but that could wait. I've also heard of people whose inflammation stopped immediately after ileostomy surgery.

For now I am thinking of trying a longer term antibiotics therapy, knowing that there may be side effects or a clostidia infection as in February. I don't like the thought of a bag so much as I already had one for half a year.
