#Pouchitis is inflammation of an ileal pouch after J-pouch surgery. Symptoms include urgent diarrhea and cramps. Antibiotics help in most cases. It’s often temporary but can become chronic. Anyone with experience? #Jpouch #ostomy #stoma

A #Jpouch is an internal reservoir made from the small intestine and connected to the anus, avoiding permanent #ileostomy in some patients. Stool passes through the anus. A temporary loop ileostomy diverts stool while the pouch heals, then is usually reversed. Anyone with J-pouch experience? #stoma
