Is this a blockage or pouchitis?
Since Monday I have had difficult BMs where I have the sense to go, but only a tiny bit comes out, the consistency of loose oatmeal. It feels like there is more inside but won't come out and I don't want to push hard. I've also had cramps, which I've never had since my takedown in April. There was mild nausea and had some dry retching Monday night, which has stopped. Able to drink, but no appetite to eat. When I do eat a bite, there is immediate mild cramping in my stomach that passes in a minute or so. There is constant leakage, and frequency but nothing more than a few tablespoons of loose stool comes out, so I've started Cipro just in case. Does this sound like a blockage that passed, or pouchitis?
