It sounds rather like a small bowel obstruction. Do you know if they considered that in the ER? It's suprisinig that they would miss it. What did they think you had?

Are you able to hold down any fluids? There's a real risk of dehydration if you can't. Are you pooping at all? If you're not then that would, I think, seal the deal. I hope it clears up on its own - obstructions usually do, but it's worrisome that you're already vomiting.

They diagnosed me with Pouchitis.  I have already been treated for pouchitis.  I have had it constantly since about a month after my takedown.  I have never felt this amount of pain with pouchitis.  They gave me dilaudid in my IV and that helped.  He asked if I wanted to stay and of course I said NO.  I left with a prescription for Percocet, prednisone, flagyl and cipro.  After the dilaudid wore off the pain is back and the percocet is not helping.  I am pooping but not much.  So far I am not keeping liquids down.  

And thanks so much for your quick response. 

It doesn't sound like any pouchitis I've ever had or heard about. I guess it could just be a nasty GI bug, but it still sounds more like an obstruction to me. I'd suggest limiting what you put in your mouth (if anything) to liquids. Where is the pain located? Do you have a choice of ERs if you need to try again?

I have had several obstructions and the symptoms were identical to yours.  I would try another ER.

Thanks... I'm back at the ER and they are treating it as a blockage - though they can't see anything that appears to be blocking.  They agreed that the symptoms were just too coincidental not too.  Really appreciate the info.

Glad to hear you are getting help.  I think others have commented that they had blockages that were not seen when test were performed.  Mine have always been located easily.  Hope all goes well for you.
