Could someone please explain the difference in symptoms between cuffitis and pouchitis?
I’ve had a J-Pouch for 20 years and I have been very blessed with no significant issues until a month ago. Now when I eat, I almost immediately get a sharp pain in my rectum and strong urge for BM.
It could be a total coincidence but this started after I went for several hours “holding it” to the point of it being painful because I had no access to a restroom. I am trying to get an appt. with a gastroenterologist but just wondering if I might have cuffitis.
Anyone have a great doc in Alabama with experience dealing with patients post Jpouch?
