Dr Bo Shen at the Cleveland Clinic told me to cut out sugar from my diet. Sugar causes inflammation in the body .He also said I needed to exercise more. I can not tolerate eating a lot of fruit, it makes my bottom burn. I also find drinking lots of water 12 or more glasses a day helps. Without a colon, which is like a sponge to hold water in our bodies we need added water and salt. My pouch does not tolerate coffee or any imitation sugars. Causes bad burning. I do better when I eat 2 meals a day. When my last meal of the day is by 4pm, I sleep better with less interruptions.(potty visits) I am almost a vegan. Trying to get off of eggs totally. I hope this info can be a blessing. I am very thankful for this site, it has been a real blessing to me in my times of need.
