@jhills posted:Your gutt is Right! I found mine by calling the Crohns Colitiatis chapter in my state. They will tell you the Best surgeon to do Jpouch surgery laperoscopy meaning with tiny incisions about an inch long instead of the old fashioned way cutting you open with a huge incision down your middle. I have to speak from my heart thought and ask you to ask yourself....have you tried eating an anti inflammatory diet for 1 whole month? Meaning no gluten dairy meats or tomatoes or spicy items? If you could control your disease by eating the right foods wouldn’t you do it? I wish I had known more about foods before I had surgery. I’m 18 years out with jpouch and haven’t had a flare since I started eating this way and take vegan capsules of probiotics and other vitamins. That’s it! No more iron infusions, or anything and I’ve been good for 2 years now. I’ve had issues since birth and after jpouch surgery but not anymore cause I eat the right way ❤️ Good luck to you!
Thank you for the reply and advice! I've been vegan (no meat, eggs or dairy) for about 9.5 years now and eat really healthy overall. I do eat gluten, and I eat tomatoes or tomato sauce about once a month. It would be wonderful if I could control my UC with diet-- that would be a dream come true! I've always been one who never noticed food having any effect on my disease though, unfortunately. That's great to hear eating that way has been helping you so much!
