Hi everyone,

As I consider whether to go ahead with takedown or stay with my temp. loop ileostomy, I am wondering if your out put from your j pouch is similar to how the output from your ileostomy was? In order to make things thicker to not have a problem with skin breakdown from my ileostomy, I take 2 tsp. of Metamucil a day and 6 Immodium. I do pretty well with that and do not have much of a problem now. Just wondering if that means that when I have the j pouch, I will need to continue on the same regimen? Is there a correlation between the two or does it seem to change when given the extra inches of small intestine to go through? Thanks.
