A Friendly Word About Alcohol
We know life with a J-pouch doesn't mean giving up everything you enjoy. But here's what you should know:
Alcohol + J-Pouch
- • Dehydrates faster than before surgery
- • Can trigger increased output
- • May cause butt burn the next day
- • Hits harder & faster - smaller intestine = faster absorption
If You Choose to Drink
- • Alternate each drink with water or electrolytes
- • Eat before drinking
- • Avoid carbonated mixers
- • Know your new limits - they've changed!
No judgment here. Just log your dehydrating drinks above so you can track how they affect you and replenish accordingly!
