Reply to "JPouch or Ileostomy"

I had my J-pouch surgery when I was 44 and my girls were young. I was also stuck on steroids. It has worked very well for me, and gave me my life back. When my daughter asked me to study a martial art with her I was able to do it thanks to my J-pouch. I didn’t have an ostomy to compare it to, though, and J-pouch surgery is a time consuming and challenging process. The consistency of your J-pouch output is likely to be different from your current output, and there are pretty easy ways to tinker with it. In any case, most J-pouchers don’t have urgency, and use the toilet 4-6 times per day.

If Imodium isn’t a good choice for you you might want to try Lomotil.

Good luck!
