Reply to "Getting depressed about my ongoing anemia"

Hey snk69

I have a J pouch, had it for 15 years and it functions great, even this weekend just gone i was eating pizza and drinking red wine, and it copes just fine. I was last scoped probably 2 years ago and it was all clear apart from a bit of backwash ileitis, my surgeon said it was very insignificant and like a very small rash, but maybe that has got worse in the meantime, i should probably be scoped soon anyway.

Yes it’s now in my mind that it may possibly be a number of factors, my surgeon has always been convinced there is no bleed and my anemia is normal (he has many j pouch patients with anemia) but as stated above - my levels are dropping too rapidly.

So i will reiterate to him and the haemotologist that i’m not convinced by their explanations.

Thanks
