@Fight like a girl posted:U.C. 1979 j pouch surgery 1989..took 5 x to get it right. Then dr shen diagnosed crohns 2012. With cuffitis& pouchitis. Complications with c diff & bleeding ulcers in pouch. Fissures & rectal pain. So I guess this old girl needs to come up with a plan. I just don't think surgery ( ileostomy) is the right thing to do. & all the surgeons at Ccf that I had repore with left..ugh!
In your case, and ileostomy sounds right. I have spoken with quite a few people with your situation- and they wind up getting an ileostomy. I think you will be happy with it. There are pros and cons with everything but a ileostomy will more than likely solve your problems. Give it some thought. If I were you, I would get an ileostomy. Ileostomy is way better than suffering babe.
