I had my JPouch surgery back in 1994 so 26 years! I have kept it in check with Loperamide, Metamucil and watching diet! The surgeon gave me words of wisdom which I still follow today! One, if you feel like your going to pass gas, you better be running to the bathroom, and if it goes in (the mouth) spicy hot, it will also come out burning and cause burning bum.
Thanksgiving has always been a pouch flare up challenge that I'm willing to deal with each year, due to the variety of rich foods that cause the burn... Pumpkin pie, Apple Cider, Cheese cake.... the pouch will remind you what works, what doesn't. LOL

That is excellent advice! I love it!!!

And I agree with you, I like to enjoy some things no matter the consequence, especially a holiday. We only live once XD

How old were you at the time of your surgery???
