Feeling of having to use washroom CONSTANTLY!

I had a temporary loop ileostomy during jpouch surgery roughly 7 weeks ago. I have had a rough recovery with lots of ups and downs, but starting to feel better with the use of probiotics, metamucil and dietary changes for output, but I am struggling hard with the constant feeling of having to poop. I know this is all part of the pouch healing, but is this normal? And is there anyway to manage the feeling until I finish my surgery in 6 months? I find it’s the only thing really bothering me right now and would love any input to help me get back to an even more normal lifestyle. Thank you!
