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.

That’s very reassuring to know that you’ve had quality life with Crohns and a jpouch. Hope it’s the same for me if I end up having Crohns. Man, I wish I knew where the inflammation was. She didn’t really say. I had no sedation during the scope but I could barely pay attention bc all I could think about was the gas discomfort and wondering when it would be over lol
