Thank you all for your help here! I'm now a week out from my takedown and I've had some setbacks (debilitating but temporary gas pain, mostly) but I'm trying to eliminate some FODMAP foods in the short term to tamp that down. I installed a bidet pre-takedown and got some calmoseptine, and I'm keeping up the same Metamucil regimen I was on when I had the ostomy. Butt burn seems minimal.
I really appreciate all the helpful thoughts on this thread! I've been dreading the process of getting used to my new j-pouch, and it helps to have company from other pouchers.

Your welcome dear! Let us know if you need anything, were here to help

Congratulations on Take down hon
