Reply to "Flex Sig with K-Pouch?"

I get an annual scope for my K pouch. There is prep. Some docs use anesthesia, but some allow me a pass (love to observe procedure.)

As for doctors, Dr. Dietz, who did a great job creating my K, is in Cleveland, but at University Hospital. If NYC is convenient or of interest to visit, then Columbia is the place to go. Dr. Shen specializes in Pouchitis. Check out the master list in our Korner.

Pouchitis plagued my J-pouch and was its demise. A no refined sugar and no simple carbs diet reduced the symptoms. I stuck with the diet as it feels right for me. Went off it for awhile and got pouchitis w the K. Ok, I get it, it is not for everybody. All of us are tuned into our GI systems and discover our personal silver bullet for diet and activities. I remain convinced that out GI systems have own neurological system, not a brain per se but a system that links it to entire body.

Keep us posted. BTW, even Dr. Shen does not recommend VSL. Jan
