Reply to "Crohn's symptoms after otherwise healthy pouch?"

Hi there. I actually was diagnosed with Crohns after my surgery. It turns out that Crohns can present like Colitis. The telltale sign is a centre-line fissure in the pouch. The good news is that I ended up using acupuncture to manage the Crohns and I haven't had symptoms in 25 years. My j-pouch surgery was in 1993.

Best to have it scoped and confirmed either way. Good luck and I'm sorry that this is happening.
