Thank you for sharing!! Yes, I have the same issues... not so much with getting pouchitis, but I absolutely have issues when I try and eat "healthy". My "safe" diet is the bland diet we all were recommended before/after our surgeries... the white rice, bread, bananas, etc. Those foods do not cause any issues for me. However, veggies absolutely kill me... salads go straight through - undigested. I can't even have a salad before dinner without having to run to the bathroom before my meal arrives at a restaurant! It's crazy.
Because of this, I've had a difficult time trying to lose weight, or to consider a "diet". I'm sure I need to see a dietician/nutritionist... but how do you find one that is familiar with the needs of someone with a pouch. (Also, not to mention, I'm a picky eater)
