Reply to "J pouch and partial blockage? crohn's too?"

Oh and how could it take 25 years for crohns to emerge?  

My small bowel inflammation above the J Pouch was  discovered 16 years after I got the Pouch and exactly 36 years after i was diagnosed with UC. Never had small bowel inflammation while I had the colon. When J Pouch is installed the biology and anatomy change. You are aware I assume that there is no backsplash valve in a J Pouch as in the colon? This likely explains my inflammation and your husband’s, perhaps. In my case I do have narrowing at the J Pouch inlet attributed to backwash stool, but I have controlled that inflammation with proper treatment. Diet is also very important due to SIBO situation created by backsplash.
