J-Pouch Partner

He could have cuffitis. Sugar def can cause butt burn. They do recommend smaller meals more frequently as it's easier on the digestive system and certain things he eats will def up frequency Hope he gets some answers with his surgeon.  Good luck. 

Thank you, I am glad the small meals are not a probelm. 

Thank You..The poor guy is suffering!

I am sorry. I can empathize. I experience his symptoms st times too due to cuffitis and a stricture.  

Hello, Lisa K.  Too much sugar causes me problems. So do leafy vegetables and any type of fiber. Would he try taking a probiotic twice a day to help repopulate his intestine with good bacteria? Has he ever been diagnosed with pouchitis and given antibiotics? Also, eating spicy or acidic foods (tomato sauce, curry, citrus fruits, BBQ sauces) can burn on the way out. Small meals spaced throughout the day is better not only to balance his blood glucose, but also for the stomach acids to have something to work on. A portable bidet squeeze bottle (Amazon) or an inexpensive attachment for the toilet, will help so much to soothe the burn area if he uses it after each and every bathroom trip. It's an inexpensive treatment that helps so much. I hope the doctor visit will result in a solution. 

Thank You much ! The dr said he thinks he has a stricture so he is going into the hospital next week to have it all checked out. Yes he has had puchitis in the past but right now the pouch is moving slow because there is a narrowing which he had once before. The burn is bad .. poor thing! But on the plus side we got engaged today !

I have an emptying issue that makes it hard for me to eat "right" so unfortunately my diet sucks too and I experience butt burn. When I do I put a spoon of baking soda on water and drink it. Baking soda is supposed to help correct ph levels. Also just order a product to help balance ph levels. Am trying that next. But baking soda or organic brags Apple cider vinegar .. Works for me. 

Congratulations on your engagement!

Congratulations!!!  I forgot to mention I too have an anal structure  and it results in all the symptoms you are experiencing. I often have a hard time emptying the pouch and have chronic  pouchitis due to it. I'm looking st having surgery for the stricture  after the holidays. Please report back what doctor finds. Strictures unfortunately can make life miserable.  

Just FYI, restless legs is not an autoimmune issue.

Post-reactive (subacute) Lyme disease often, but not always, is.

Congratulations on the engagement!!

Thank you everyone! Yes i know he has a slew of autoimmune isues... poor thing. We are scheduled for the first week of december so i am hoping he gets relief.
