Reply to "Continued incontinence after 3-stage Proctocolectomy (removal of colon and rectum)"

I use NUUN tablets for hydration.  They don't have sugar and are not a syrupy taste.  A bicyclist on here recommended them to me.  I order them from Amazon, NUUN and ebay - whoever has the best price at that time.  They have other ones that have vitamins and caffeine. I didn't care for the vitamin one and it wasn't for dehydration.  The caffeine one was ok except for caffeine is dehydrating.  Just a suggestion as this way is more economical that G2 etc.

I think the most common surgery is still the double stapled procedure, using a bit of retained rectum to staple the j-pouch to, vs the hand sewn surgery. I wish I'd had the hand sewn one since all of my rectum would have been removed. They aren't too common because of potential incontinence for one thing and it requires greater surgical skill than the double stapled one.

I'm interested in what your doctor says and hope s/he is able to help.
