Reply to "Revert back to ileostomy"

n/aMember

I called it quits on my jpouch after close to 25 yrs. (I was 60-ish) due to similar issues as you are experiencing, along with fistulas, abscesses, severe cuffitis... Although I am not thrilled with wearing a bag, it is SUCH a relief to have the pouch gone and have my health/life back - for me, it was worth the trade-off. I may not be typical, but I have not seen any gastro/surgeon since I had my pouch removed 4 yrs ago, and have been on no drugs other than imodium. Diversion is also an option, (I was first diverted for a yr. before pouch removal), and perhaps something to discuss with your surgeon/dr. There are posts on the ostomy topic discussion here from a number of us who "went back" or were diverted (my jpouch removal thread is at https://www.j-pouch.org/topic/...al-date-and-time-set).
