Hello everyone, was wondering if anyone else out there struggles with leaks during the night? (While sleeping) I've been having this issue from day one and even though it's intermittent it's a problem. In the 7 years I've had a J pouch it's my biggest worry as I age. I do feel I go to often still and question why I have to work so hard to eliminate but from what I read here these seem more common.

My son had a lot of leaks intermittently. Fiber helped . He is on humira now and that seems to help too - thought it is hard to know for sure if that is what is making the difference.
Thank you Boy's Mom. I do try and eat right, no junk and plenty of veggies with some fruit. I've always taken Metamucil and that helps to keep things together big time, I also take Lomotil throughout the day to slow things down but neither help during the night. And it's not like I sleep thru the night, I'm typically up every three to four hours. Ugh
