Pouchitis? I had fever and frequency and Pouchitis was the cause. 10 days of Flagyl (Rx) and then a daily probiotic might help (it did for me). See your GI ASAP.

Sounds like pouchitis. Call your doc today for sure.

We're not immune to the same viruses and bacterial infections that plague everyone now and then. Maybe food poisoning?

I'm not disagreeing with calling your doctor, but it seems premature to decide that it's pouchitis.

Question I had my surgery a year agp this month. I am still having problems eating, meanimg that my stomach or part of my intetine is super sensative to foods still! Is this normal
In turn this also causes horrible problems with my weight! I am down to 93lbs. which is not good especially because my claases start monday the 25th!
Why am I so sensative to things I eat? and is there some kind of secret on how to maitain a healthy weight?

Oh for got to add that when I eat something that doesnt agree with me. I usually spend most of my time in the bathroom, going number 2 like crazy!!!!
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

It's not normal to be struggling a year after surgery. I can't tell from your post if you've definitely tied this to sensitivity to specific foods, or if any food can set you off sometimes.

Basic techniques that help many people who are generally well include thickeners/bulking agentsw (like Meamucil, Citrucel, or Benefiber), bowel slowers (Lomotil or Imodium), and (for some) bacterial probiotics (VSL #3, Align). If no one has taken a look at your pouch you probably should have a pouchoscopy. Pouchitis could also be the culprit - it's a not-uncommon situation for J-pouchers, at least those who had IBD. For most folks it's easily managed with a course of antibiotic (commonly Flagyl or Cipro).

Kunga, You might also have a c.diff infection so a call to your doctor should be made if you don't feel better soon.

ljk - Have you thought about allergy testing to see if you are sensitive to any foods? I had a bad problem eating after my surgeries and lost a lot of weight. As soon as the food hit my system everything started to hurt so I didn't eat much until it gradually got better. I had plenty of weight to loose and my nutritionist had me drinking a healthy plant based protein shake daily to make sure I was getting the basics in my system.
