Reply to "JPouch or Ileostomy"

Hi Lauren,

Thanks for sharing your story. I am glad that you are doing well. I appreciate your advice very much. If I may, I would like to ask you a few questions if you are comfortable with that.

Are you taking any medicines to slow down your bowel movements?

For me, going 13x-20x a day would be very hard. At least for me, I think it would be difficult to keep my current job. I want a life without the appliance if possible, but the prospect of going 13x-20x scares me. Are there any functionality issues with your JPouch? Or is it just quicker transit time? What issues did you have with the appliance?

Thanks Doug
