I was doing very well,(no antibiotics, 6-8 stools per day, etc.) and had an appt to see a new gastro. He did a quick scope, and ever since, I have had symptoms of pouchitis. Can the scoping anger the pouch? I will call him back tomorrow to see if they have any ideas.

Also, how do you all get sleep at night when the pouch problems are going on? I am up at least once an hour, and completely wiped out for work the next day. Any suggestions for these would be great.

Thanks!

it is common to have discomfort after the scope. that has been my expereince.

I've not experienced much discomfort after a scope; I don't know whether a scope would aggravate pouchitis - I would think that it's possible, though.

For your sleep problems, you could try a couple of pepto bismol before bedtime, or something like immodium, until you get some feedback from your doctor. I hope you get this resolved soon - been there, done that - I understand how debilitating those nights can be.
