General comment on pouchitis

Hi: I'm about 20 years post op. Wow, it's hard to believe that when I read it.  I'm still learning things about my pouch.  A couple of weeks ago I thought I was getting pouchitis, but before getting on meds, I decided to get on here.  I took some advice someone had given a while back and tried Pepto and cutting out sugar. It helped a lot (along with my normal probiotic).  I'm really seeing how sugar (sweets) can cause a bacterial build up and give the bad bacteria something to feast on.  I'm hoping this approach keeps working.  I can live without the sweets, but hopefully will be able to keep the regular carbs.  The reduction in gas by taking out sugar is amazing.  Just thought I'd share.  Thanks to all who have given advice.
