What if you already have antibodies to it because you've been on it before to treat UC? Also will other biologicals work for inflammation in the J-pouch if they haven't worked for colitis?
The reason why I'm asking is because I failed all treatments including the big biologicals. That's why I got the surgery in the first place. Would biologicals ever work again for the J-pouch? I always worry and wonder about this.

I think that is a valid question and with the things we've been through, there is a tendency to always wait for the next shoe to drop. Not all J pouches need treatment and not all need biologics. You have a brand new pouch. At this juncture, it is wondering if you need a medication for a problem you do not have. Sort of like worrying that chemo won't work when you do not have cancer.
