I have no idea what happened ...

I have no idea what happened, but after my last surgery (4th revision) to repair my Koch pouch in November 2011 I've had constant fecal matter leakage, as well as gas leakage a couple of times, when my pouch was full. I had basically decided I didn't want any more surgery & had decided to put up with the leakage, even though it was a nuisance. Suddenly about four or five months ago the fecal matter leakage stopped & my pouch has been working perfectly!! I did several things about that time, so I don't know if maybe one of these things contributed to my pouch working properly. I switched from using a Marlen catheter to a Medina, quit eating a bag or two of junk food (cheezies & chips) everyday & started taking a probiotic everyday. I've given it some time now as I didn't want to get too excited about my good fortune, but I'm thrilled!!! Never give up hope! Anyone have any ideas about this, or have a similar thing happen to them? - Dixie
