@janspons I hope it helps. I didn't have much success with a long term solution to the pouchitis. The anal abscesses let to leakage and that had its own set of problems. I've been a lot healthier with a permanent ileostomy, which wasn't my first choice, of course.

@susanf8 If this doesn't work for the leakage, that may be my next option. It's weird that with all the inflammation, I have no pain, no blood, symptoms and am 95% incontrol of my BM's while awake. I did not like thee ileostomy when it was temporary due to my jpouch construction/healing, but at this point having some control may be a better option. I will wait it out awhile longer while on the antiobiotics, and I am to have another scope in October to see if anything is working. Thanks for your input!
