Vanessavy I hope a lot of posters pay some good hard attention to your last post. Unfortunately the more old school thinking or brainwash is that with a J Pouch you can eat anything, and short term, in most cases, you can. Posters need to focus on the long term and not short term what agrees with them. We see lots of posts from people who say they do not want to give up sugary foods or carbs because they "want to enjoy life." Since those foods are not immediately bothering them, it is no big deal. But with more recent thinking from Dr. Shen and others following his lead, we are seeing that cleaning up the diet is a big help to people who have long term SIBO/pouchitis. The SIBO and pouchitis people who do not clean up their diet will see that over time with consistent indulgent eating of sugar and carbs, SIBO will get worse. There are reasons why the SCD, FODMAP and Paleo Diets are powerfully gaining acceptance among the long term pouchitis and SIBO sufferers. Those reasons are mostly common sense, but some people do not want to accept what is common sense. Unfortunately they are likely to learn the hard way like I did.
