Reply to "Veteran Pouch, now Crohn's"

I had my pouch out the end of June. I always had chronic pouchitis and was scoped every years by my gasto and it always showed UC. Last year the scope showed stricture in the middle of the piuch and showed it was enlarged. That is when I knew it had to go. When surgeon went in inflammation above the pouch. The biopsies showed chrons in pouch and a little above the pouch. My guess is having the chronic pouchitis does something to change to chrons? Doesn't Dr Shen have some kind of theory that chronic pouchitis can turn in to another kind of IBD. I was floored. I am dealing with lots of issues post removal that I never dreamed I would be dealing with. At some point I will start the biologics.

Good luck, I know you are dealing with alot of issues. In the end you just have to pick a treatmen and pray. At lest you at CC so you have doctors that know the most about IBD.
