Hello,I don't want to be annoying but I was wondering if your jpouch continued to improve each year or if it hasn't changed much since the 1,2,3 year marks .has it become more colon like,do you still take any meds?are you happy with it?

Hi. I am happy with my J Pouch. I take one immodium before bedtime every day. I would say that the function of my pouch highly depends on what I do.

The keys for me are not overeating and avoiding butt burn by using wipes and finding the right balance of time for sitting on the toilet to empty everything but not staying on too long so that the output starts to burn the skin

I stress the key is not overeating. I can pretty much eat what I want but if I eat too much it means more emptying usually at night.

Another thing I do every day is drink a large coffee (latte) before breakfast and this flushes everything out of the pouch. Not sure if this makes any difference but I read on here that it could help prevent pouchitis
