 J-Pouch Survival Kit
for healing, comfort & protection
Ileo-anal anastomosis or the "J-Pouch" operation offers relief from conditions and diseases of the colon, but the relief comes with its own set of challenges. These challenges can be met, if you have the right information.
During the healing process following the procedure, a temporary "ileostomy" or "stoma" is formed in the patient's abdomen, just below the beltline. The skin around this stoma can easily become inflamed and often causes a great deal of pain or discomfort. Proper care of the area surrounding the stoma will result in far greater comfort.
Because the "j-pouch" is substantially smaller than a colon, the patient will have a substantially greater number of bowel movements each day. Typically, more frequent bowel movements results in raw and irritated tissue often referrred to as "butt burn," and sometimes even hemorrhoids.
Through trial and error, the father of the owner of Wellness Partners (Dave Fields, a j-pouch recipient himself) has discovered a means by which these sensitive tissues can be treated and protected, resulting in greater comfort and satisfaction.
Dave Fields came home from the hospital feeling good about the outcome of his surgery. He had suffered with colon cancer, but now it was just a memory. The cancerous tissue was gone and he was given a clean bill of health.
 While healing at home, Dave began to realize that the tissue around his ileostomy wound (and later the tissue around his rectum) was not prepared for the abuse it was about to be subject to. He had a large container of this "miracle skin cream" that he used on patches of excema and as a moisturizer, so he decided to try it on the tissue surrounding the ileostomy.
The cream worked like a champion to soothe, to heal and to create a barrier, but the pain when applying the cream was pretty tough to handle. The pain did not last long, as the "miracle cream" did contain a mild analgesic, but the initial burn was quite severe. So he began to experiment. He found that by mixing two creams, the resulting mixture had all of the soothing and healing properties he needed, and the pain was minimized as well.
- The barrier cream
- The analgesic cream
- The storage container with instructions
- Three month supply of probiotics
The J-Pouch survival kit includes both creams (barrier cream and analgesic cream) in the proper proportions, and a labeled container in which to combine and store the mixture. The cream will last for several months, in most cases, and has a shelf-life of two years.
 The kit includes a three-month supply of probiotics as well. Because anti-biotics are typically prescribed following the surgery, the natural flora typically present in the digestive tract are often eradicated, much to the displeasure of the recovering patient. Our probiotic boasts nine friendly human strains of bacteria to care for all areas of intestinal function and is suitable for daily use.
This unmatched formulation includes specially selected strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. rhamnosus, L. gasseri, Bifidobacterium longum strain B., B. longum strain M., B. bifidum., B. infantis, B. breve, and B. lactis.
Listen to your gut feeling! Supplementing with these strains provides good company to the flora already there, and may help to calm the digestive system when antibiotics, travel, diet, pathogens, or any stress disrupt the normal flora causing various upsets.
Refrigeration is not necessary, making it the most convenient probiotic on the market.
Kyo-Dophilus 9 is also heat stable and its potency is guaranteed for 3 years.
