Jpouch leakage
I had the final step of my surgery last February and I have been living with a jpouch since. Everything is good apart form one thing. Almost every time I sleep I have a LOT of leakage. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this and if so what can help stop it. My doctor isn't doing much to help me. Thanks

I had this happen nightly, sometimes more than once per night, for nearly 7 years after my j-pouch connection. I tried everything to make it stop and nothing worked. Then, I did not do anything different that I know of, but it tapered off then stopped all together. It might happen now 1 time every 6 months. I don't take any meds and eat what I want. I don't know why it stopped, but I am not complaining Smiler
There is always hope!

I agree with mainbound. Mine tapered off after a 7-day dose of Flagly. My doctor told me to take a probiotic. I cannot stand VSL#3, so I tried Align.

After about 3-4 weeks of using Align (and no other meds), I have noticed a significant difference in my happiness with my J-Pouch.

However, I do take 1 tablet of Tylenol PM at bedtime. I was taking Advil PM, but after about 2 weeks of taking it, it caused bleeding.
