Hello,

I have been reading about the MicroBiome and in particular, Robynne Chutkans' book, The Microbiome Diet.  How does this apply to those of us without a colon? I am acting as though my pouch IS my colon. Since I have cut out milk and gluten, and beefed up my veggie intake, my pouch is so much calmer. I also wonder since the pouch is so much smaller than the large intestine, can it harbor enough good bacteria to keep me healthy?

Many thanks

Joanne

Hi, thanks for the link on the book. I was thinking about the same thing, treating the pouch like the colon for the microbiome. However, does that tissue take to the colonization like the colon? From what I’ve researched it seems the tissues are not the same from small intestine to colon and so I didn’t know if it would colonize like a colon. 

Anyone with luck on this?
