How we write these

Every guide is written by the PouchWise team and checked against public-health sources (the CDC, FDA, NHS and national health services in the Nordics and Germany) and published research, which we link at the bottom of each page. Where the evidence is mixed or missing, we say so; that includes the evidence on tapering, which does not favour our own approach. These pages are general information, not medical advice. If something is wrong or out of date, email support@pouchwiseapp.com.
