Reply to "Going from Jpouch back to Ileostomy"

I don’t want to stray you incorrectly, so your GI or surgeon would need to evaluate you. But from what I have read about pouches that fail due to untreatable pouchitis or other things like fistulas, when they are removed, if they were indeed the source of inflammation, many patients seem to become symptom free. Now with Crohn’s as you know, it can attack the entire GI, so it could be complicated. That would be a key question to ask your medical team “if I excise the J Pouch - will my bad symptoms go away”. I think that would be a key factor that the surgeon will diagnose. I hope you get to see the surgeon soon.
