I always say the diet is key to keeping the inflammation away. Since my take down 2013 I finally came off most prescription meds. The only ones I take is Loperamide caps 2 mg 2 x qd. and Hyoscyamine for IBS prn, which really works. I take 1 qd 50 billion probiotic, Entera Gam, 1 packet qd; Prescription Medical Food Product that controls bacteria in gut: dx SIOB. That just came about and is common in J-pouch and intestinal issues. This totally works better than oregano pills if u can afford it. I do take vitamins and use turmeric for pain and ginger for nausea. The main thing is my diet and I have been on the FODMAP diet since 2014 and it works. It's only when I don't listen and stray away like on Holidays that I feel the pain. Because of this combination I don't need biologics and don't want them. They did not work before surgery. You have to find your combinations that work and u will! I do tweak my regime when I feel it's not working. Always a work in progress.
Side note: I recall reading on this site about Psyillum Husk to help slow down output. I use to bake with & I know it's a fiber and thought it would make me go more. But after reading about it the opposite happens for J-pouch it's helps control output. That's is why I love this site.
