Hello*
So I had the jpouch takedown surgery about 10mo ago. Just went on for my follow up pouchoscopy to make sure everything was connected and now they tell me I have Crohns.
Can anyone tell me if something similar has happened to them ?

I am wondering what the effects would be if I didn't use medication instead followed the Specific carbohydrate Diet.
I'm apparently having an active inflamation but I can't really tell .
I've been pooping the same since the last surgery (10x/day, give or take). Only now I feel much more lethargic.
thought it was Seattle winter...
My face and back have been breaking out mega so I recently cut out dairy and have been doing better. Still no energy though. Already wheat free, following a loose sc/gaps/wapf diet.
This was never a problem until about 5yrs ago, presumably when I started getting sick?? Cleared up after colon was out. garbage!

I was diagnosed UC not even 3yrs ago, have gone through 6 operations plus procedures, resulting in full colectomy and a jpouch. I was only treated medicinally with ascoll and a dose of prednisone for 5 months after diagnosis, before my colon ruptured.
I thought I would be done with medication forever!

Any advice on the SCD is appreciated
thanx! you are All amazing!! Thanks for posting and sharing **

Hey, I'm a Seattleite, too!

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Got a j-pouch, and then learned you actually had crohns all along :(
I always thought if worst comes to worst, I could do the j-pouch... and then recently I learned I actually have crohns. Mandarr, I'm sorry about your circumstance.

I don't know if going without meds is a wise idea, though I've read about people who do it with diets like the SCD. As for the SCD, do the intro diet properly (at the very least to satisfy any of your doubts just in case if the diet doesn't work for you). Make and eat the homemade yogurt. I did the SCD for several months and gave up after seeing no improvements. I hope your outcome will be better than mine.
