I have reached a point where I am not liquid in my BMs. I endure bathroom visit about 15 times a day. Seems like constipation as opposed to recovery. My question today is about the gas which has increased in frequency and volume. Its also difficult to pass at times. My diet does not seem to be the issue. Can anyone make a suggestion. Hard to have a full life with this issue Thank You

It can be difficult to tell whether it’s increased gas vs. it being more difficult to expel the gas. In any case perhaps you can provide more context: Are you using fiber supplements or bowel slowers? Are you well hydrated? Was the Entyvio prescribed for chronic pouchitis or something else? Have you tried a mild laxative (e.g. MiraLax)? What else have you tried?
Thank you for your reply. I stopped taking atropine and psyllium hush a few weeks ago with constipation.. Gas has stopped but not able to pass BM . No pain of blockage. Very hydrated. Exercise regularly. Unsure of what to do. Will try Miralux.
Are you really saying that you can’t poop at all?
I assume that by atropine you actually mean Lomotil (diphenoxylate with atropine). MiraLax might be helpful, but just resuming the psyllium might also help.
