Hello all, I have had my bcir for alittle over two years now. I don't take any meds. When I evac. I have to tighten stomach for awhile and then relax to get it to evac, I have to do this several times. My output is about the right thickness. Does anyone else have the problem?.Does this sound normal?

Amos,
That is not a problem but a normal way of evacuating the pouch as far as I am concerned...unless my output is pure liquid in which case it just pours out...I contract my abdominal muscles to put pressure on the pouch and 'squeeze it'...as long as your consistency is good it shouldn't be a big problem.

Hi Amos, I agree with Sharon. I have a kock pouch and I too tighten my stomach muscles to help empty my pouch. The muscles squeeze the pouch and helps with the evacuation! It's been this way for me since day one, no problem! grandma64
Rare I have a real runny output. If I had a jpouch I most likely would have full formed poop!
Anyway, I push my ab muscles like I was taking a normal dump with a colon.
