I just think j-pouchers - actual & prospective - think about ... focus on ... get a bit too myopic on their pouch ... they let it 'rule' their lives.
been eating chili and drinking and nibbling on things my GI says I probably shouldn't for a few decades ... might not have been the brightest or smartest path but at least I feel like I, and not my pouch, are running things.
be well - that's the bottom (ahem) line.
Its all good! Thanks for apologizing And I understand what you are saying but I think its important to work with your J-pouch as a team- I think that is the only way we can really try to make it. Keep in mind too that J-pouches and ostomies can fail too, I think we just gotta do teamwork with our J -pouches and ostomies and work with everything we got. Does alcohol bother you or your pouch??? I heard mixed reviews on that.
