Reply to "K-Pouch Mucosal Prolapse"

Thanks Janet, 

The onion strings, lemon seeds or red pepper chunks are not really that dangerous, just a pain...so don't sweat it...what really killed me one year is that I went on a diet and ate mostly salads all summer...got big into romain lettuce...until one day I kept pulling and pulling until I yanked out a huge ball of fiber that had sort of come together in my pouch...I was sure that I had killed my valve with that...I had a few of them and there was no way to break them down so I was very careful and very slow...now romain is limited, chewed diligently and avoided if possible!

Yes, it is a conscious balancing act at all times (that I usually forget until it is too late)...you need to exercise and keep those abs firm and strong but not so much as you kill yourself and pop a hernia...you need to eat but stay thing enough not to compromise your valve but not overdo the salads...yup...this pouch is not for the weak of heart...or the lazy!

Sharon

ps. don't panic...just relax and take it slowly. You may just have a crook that stocks a couple drops of gunk and spits it out at night...no gas release, no problem. If it doesn't get worse, then don't worry too much.
