I had a jpouch and thought it was great, no more colitis! Then it got out of control, I was having accidents in the night, cause when you sleep, you don't have control of " the squeeze" you probably have found that out. I did a lot of research, and found this BCIR the best thing ever! Barnett Continent intestinal Reservoir,this is done in Florida and California. I chose Florida, they are the best people down there! I highly recommend going there and having this procedure done, you won't regret it, I promise! Please check it out.

I have no regret with my jpouch. I have control.
J pouch since 1991. Never leak, sleep through the night. Go 4-6x a day.
Why does this sound more like an ad than a member to me?
Although I am a true believer in continent ileos when and if your j pouch fails or if you already have an end ileo and you are unhappy with it, I would never suggest going strait to the k pouch or Bcir without at least trying the j pouch first.
Kind of like suggesting an amputation and prosthetic before attempting to cast the leg first.
Baby steps.

Hopefully not.
Could just be a member who was very excited to have the option of the BCIR after a failed j-pouch. I do agree that continent ileostomy is not without its own set of challenges. A personal choice to be sure!

True...and I can understand the excitement of finding a solution to the horrible problem of an uncooperative and incontinent or sick j pouch.
Sorry if I have misspoke...I wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
