JPouch: Anyone have experience with statins changing the output?

Posted by tipper58 @tipper58, Sep 21 12:57pm

25 yrs with JPouch and I have recently started taking a statin for high cholesterol and this has made my output more frequent and urgent. Anyone else with this problem and any solutions?

@tipper58, welcome. After managing with your J-pouch for 25 years, I can imagine this feels like a major setback when a new medication changes the output. How long have you been taking the statin? Have things settled a bit as you adjust to the medication?
