I tried a new medication (for another condition) and it did not agree with my bowel and j-pouch at all. I had diarrhoea and although that’s settled down I now have crampy pain and difficulty emptying. Annoyingly this starts about midnight and has kept me awake for a few nights.
It’s not pouchitis, just general “upset” I think.
I’m eating small meals, less than normal, low residue and gentle foods. I am also taking Buscopan very sparingly. (I’ve been told it could cause motility problems in my case so I have to be careful.) It seems to be helping a little, along with a heat pack.
Any other suggestions?
