Hey All,
It's summer for me, and I'm excited about being a Sophomore next school year! I have been doing well and have had (about?) to years with my j pouch, no stoma no nothing. In the beginning, I miraciously did't use the bathroom half as much as they thought I would. They were really surprised. My stool was also not nearly as liquidly as they had said. I felt so happy. But recently, I have been rather annoyed. I have noticed that I have been using the bathroom way more. I do not understand. This is what I was expecting before, not now? I probably go to the bathroom 6, 7, maybe 8 times a day. Or maybe more. I always have the urgency. It was never like this. I used to go about 6 times a day. I have also noticed that the longer I don't go, the more pain I'm in. It sucks. I have to be sure to use the bathroom 2 times before I go out, and usually I begin to have pain and my tummy begins to gurgle and it hurts a lot. I also do this before bed. I can't sleep more than 5 hours ( especially bad because teenage girl lol) without beginning to feel sick or like I need to run to the bathroom. Is this normal? What do you think is going on? I'm just curious. It's been bothering me and I want yalls opinions. Please and thank you(: I hope you all have safe, happy and healthy summers (or whatever)
