Abstract

We present a #MondayNightIBD case of chronic pouchitis and discuss key diagnostic and therapeutic challenges commonly encountered in clinical practice. We make reference not only to the limited published literature but also to the informed opinions of the #MondayNightIBD discussion participants, identifying gaps where management guidelines and research are needed. A #MondayNightIBD Algorithm for Pouchitis Management is proposed.
