Dear Community,
This is urgent:
Background: I am a 23 year old with a J-pouch, after UC surgery 3 years ago. Everything's been fine since, except occasional diarrhoea.
about 10 hours ago I ate a whole papaya and have had tummy cramps ever since. I havn't had the urge to go potty once since, although I did pass a tiny bit of gas. A tiny bit of contents came out as well, which I knew (dont ask how) is papaya.
Has anyone else ever been so constipated, and what are the chances of a blockage in your opinion? Has anyone had a block with a J-pouch (no stoma).
Much appreciated, your answer will help me decide to get on a plane back to my hospital ASAP (because I know blockages can be bad).
Yours,
Essam
