My j pouch

It was all ok for a few years . . Now I'm up about 5 times a night to try and have a bowel motion . . (Not always a success) can be wind . . But then my day and evening are the same . . Often feel like I need a bowel motion which about half the times I need to go but the rest is wind . .I'm tired most of my day . . . It's very hard

  1. Im so sorry you are going through this. I'm sure others with j pouches will soon weigh in to offer advice or tips. Wondering if your doctor knows that you are going through this? Sending strength your way, Elizabeth (team member)

    1. I'm exactly the same . . Life's hard

      1. Hi , I'm sorry to hear that you're still experiencing the same thing as you were back in April. Has your doctor not offered some feedback or ideas of what can be done to help? -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
