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

I am someone who has a diagnosis of Crohn's/chronic pouchitis and what you describe are not likely "Crohn's symptoms."  Your post suggests intense stomach cramps that comes with consuming various foods.  Given their intensity and chronicity you should probably see a doctor and have appropriate diagnostic testing done, whether a endoscopy or upper GI series or something else as determined by your doctor.  In 26 years of having chronic inflammation in my J pouch I never had anything remotely resembling your symptoms and do not know why you call them "Chrohn's symptoms" because they are not in my experience.  Uncontrolled Crohn's usually results in frequent BMs, nocturnal incontinence and some cramps, but not like you described.
