Hello everyone, I've had my J pouch for almost 11 years with little to no complaints (minus two bouts of pouchitis) until the beginning of the year. In early Janurary I became quite ill for a number of days with extreme cramping, nausea and just begin generally very weak. I went to by my local doctor and he prescribed me a batch of antibiotics which I appeared to do the trick. On Sunday the same thing happened to me, I began to get very serious cramping paintings in my stomach and lower abdomen (I left like I really needed to pass gas but couldn't or their was nothing there). I took to my bed as the pains became worse and worse, all the time I could pass nothing only urine. On Monday I awoke with the same pains but this time accompanied with extreme periods of vomiting up a greedy brown liquid ( I should mention I ate nothing on Sunday night after a bout lunch time, and nothing of Monday at all). I continued to vomit, feel nauseous/ weak and have extrem pains all day. Today I awoke and the pains have gone my stomach area is very tender with little to no nausea and no vomiting, although I do feel tired. I am passing something from the j pouch although it is just liquid no solids at all even though I have eaten small meals today. I have an appointment to see my doctor in about two weeks as he is currently out of the country. I was just wondering if anyone would have any ideas at what this may be. Thanks for any advice anyone has, I love this forum and think it's a great space. ps when I had the pain my stomach became extremely swollen to about twice its size.
