Hey all. I've had my j-pouch for about a year now without any major problems but this is my first topic on here. Basically, my pouch is just generally very inconsistent from day to day. For a few days it will be working great, going about 3 times a day, solid stools etc. Then the next day it will be the complete opposite with lots of gas, frequent trips to the bathroom, itching, burning, leaking, the lot. I've tried watching out for specific foods that cause problems but even eating the same, safe foods 2 days in a row gives completely different results. Does everyone else find their pouch so wildly inconsistent from day to day, even when eating the same foods?
I would say yes, for quite a while I wouldn't have two of the same days with my j pouch even eating the same foods. But I have noticed now that its been just about two years since my takedown that things are much more consistent.
