Reply to "Crohns or diversion colitis"

Just take it 1 step at a time. I ended up with Ctohn’s In Pouch and in neoterminal ileum years after J Pouch surgery but it’s been very treatable. I have had my Pouch 27 years and most of those years have been taking meds that control the inflammation. My quality of life is very good. IMHO where the inflammation is located and it’s pattern is important. The pattern I developed is quite common which is rectal cuff (mild), J Pouch inlet and neoterminal ileum. That pattern is common because there is no backsplash valve on a J Pouch as there is in the colon and  that area is where it manifests over time. Stool backwash is the cause.
