3 weeks post take down... pouchitis?

Hi all,

I am 3 weeks post op and have some severe cramping. I have no problems with control and can pass gas. When the cramping occurs I feel the pain almost in my tail bone and then as it goes away, you can hear my tummy/pouch rumble and hear the gas moving around.

Is this normal coming out of surgery or could this be pouchitis?

Also, when i'm trying to go to the bathroom I can only go if I make it in time to poop while the cramp is occurring. Other than that, i can almost never pass anything- if I do, its tiny pebbles and would not be what my pouch is holding.

Any advice would be awesome!
