Since surgery I feel like my pouch has always been in sort of a low simmer of inflammation with an occasional boil-over into pouchitis. My original GI doctor didn’t seem overly concerned about treating it unless I was uncomfortable. Honestly my disease was so bad pre-j-pouch that I think I had a pretty high tolerance for symptoms so I didn’t feel the need to treat it very often. I’ve since moved and my new doc here seems pretty concerned about the constant inflammation. I am a little bit too but don’t want to do constant antibiotics. My lower-inflammation symptoms are very tolerable and made better if I keep up on a good diet and Imodium, etc. Just wondering what your all thoughts and experiences have been. Thanks!
