J-pouch Life

On almost the year anniversary of surgery 1, I am in Mexico.  My jpouch is doing great, and it is wonderful to be able to travel again. This is our first trip in many many years, UC had really taken away the ability to travel and enjoy life. 

I’ve been eating the local food, and all is fine. My movements have become more liquid for some reason even though I’m still taking my normal 4 immodium and 2 doses of metamucil each day.  Not a problem but since I started using my jpouch about 6 months ago, this is the first time I’ve had all liquid BM’s.

We’ll post pictures soon of the trip.
