Pouch/anal training... How???

mamaswansMember

Hi... I am new here. Am only 9 days post ileostomy reversal. I need advice on how to "train" myself to not have to use the bathroom every time I stand up!

I was diagnosed with UC in 10/2013. Disease progressed very quickly and I had colectomy 02/28/2016. J-pouch was formed 04/05/2016 and loop ileostomy reversed just over 2 wks later on 05/03/2016 because of extreme peristomal skin irritation. I am healing well surgically, but this needing to go every time I stand up from sitting or nocturnal incontinenece is truly bothersome. Just not sure how to train the pouch to stretch and be able to "hold it". I have other symptoms, but this is the most bothersome.

Any ideas please???
