Pouches, Pouches everywhere

I have some questions about K pouches, BCIR, and J pouches.  A little history of me... I have Crohn's disease with a cronic rectal stricture.  I already know that the rectal issues would rule me out as a candidate for the J Pouch as the stricture is too far "south" to make a reconnection possible.

But what about the others?  Is there a reason that Crohnies don't qualify for either of the other types of pouches?  I have never had any small bowel issues.

Please help.

as far as i know the reason you can't qualify for a pouch if you have crohn's is because they don't want to take a chance that the crohn's will come back at one of the attachment points.  People with pouches are either colitis patients, who are completely cured by a colectomy, or colon cancer patients that are also cured by a colectomy.  Hope this helps.
