Diversion Colitis

Diversion Colitis. Since I have researched UC for 42 years thought I would do a bit on diversion colitis. If you have a rectal stump almost 100% get it,in varying degrees. Please note since I am here I lost the UC battle. Your going to find the main treatment other than barbie butt are short chain fatty acid enemas,acetate,propionate,butyrate as sodium salts,which are difficult to obtain. What I am posting is not medical advice,just some studies you or your GI may not know about or care to look into. First one coconut oil which is a tryglyceride/fat. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6768601/ Your going to also find that butyrate is the preferred fuel of colon cells,via beta oxidatin. But medium chain fatty acids will also fuel colon cells. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9135532/ This one indicates a lack of bifido bacteria. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3964268/ So where do you get medium chain tryglycerides. MCT oil on Amazon,you can get mixed or mostly c8 oils. Eating it won't work never gets to the diverted rectum. Again this is stuff you can tease out of the medicl literature. Sticking anything mechanical into the rectal stump might be dangerous,let alone varoius chemicals. You can also go here and see what some people do. https://www.uoaa.org/forum/search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d...

I'm having a terrible issue with diversion colitis in the remaining rectum. This has become a huge problem and I am at my wits end not knowing what to do about it. I take flagyl and steroid suppositories but even that is not working. Not sure if you're still around. I haven't been here in a long time.

Hey Old Mike,
I have some friends on Wegovy. They have UC or Crohn's. All. Of them said their symptoms are much better when they take it and at day 6 they can tell the difference.... 2 if them have ostomies and said their back end isn't "acting up" as much.....

Thoughts?
