I had my j-pouch done in 1992, with the "normal" pouch issues off and on. Lately I have had a strange feeling of the stool moving into my pouch accompanied by much pain. I literally have to stop whatever I am doing until the movement is done moving. Then I have to clench until I can get to the bathroom. I just had a scope and it was normal with no stricture. Has anyone had this problem?

Diane,
Did they do biopsies with your scope as that is the best way to check for inflammation in your pouch. You could have pouchitis as this sounds similar to what I experience when I have it (a lot of cramping/gurgling in my pouch with urgency).

That sounds like me all the time! You should see my face when I get that movement...very painful until it makes its way out! This is not fun at all!

Thanks for the input. The biopsies were normal. I guess it's back on the Flagyl. Yea!!!
