hello, have been living with my j-pouch since November 2013 - had a rough start but things got better and I had a reasonably good summer, was looking forward to a great winter but for some reason since Sunday of last week, I have had a lot of abdominal pain and not much is passing. I had an xray last Wednesday that showed a blockage at the pouch, bowel distension, impacted stool around pelvis and in some areas higher up the small intestine. Went to emerg as per my GP and they gave me an enema, not much came out except the liquid that went in and they sent me home, said to eat ground flax! I've never been able to have a high fiber diet since getting my pouch and raw veg do not digest nor do peels, etc. It's now Saturday and I'm still not going to the bathroom and in severe abdominal pain. Don't know what to do, can't see my surgeon until next week. Do I stop eating until then? I'm exhausted and dizzy and lost another five pounds - was 138 pre-surgery, have been about 105lbs since. don't really want to lose anymore weight by fasting. scared to use a laxative and further irritate my pouch - scared i'm having pouch failure and will have to go back to ostomy
