A member asked:
Is it possible for you to get crohn's in rectal stump after a j pouch removal ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It certainly is: If your original diagnosis was crohn's. Crohn's can involve all or any portions of the GI tract. If your j pouch was created for presumed ulcerative colitis which ultimately turned out to be crohn's and thus required the removal of the pouch, any residual rectum would be at risk for crohn's.
