Hope everyone is doing well. So, I'm about 8 months out from take down. Doing well for the most part. I was wondering if it's somewhat normal for me to be having an average of 8 bowl movements daily. Seems my body has a weird schedule. At night when I go to bed, I notice that I get some gas, most of the time it's not bad, but when I do get it, I end up going to the bathroom about 5 times nightly. When I take my afternoon nap, this doesn't happen. I've tried a lot of different things like intermittent fasting and usually stop eating by 8pm. I'm still figuring out the whole diet thing too. After months out of take down, do some of you still have 8-10 bowl movements daily? It's more so small bowl movements and not fully emptying out. I usually empty out pretty well in the late afternoons. I'm trying to figure out what is normal for jpouchers as far as the number of bowl movements daily. The other question is about still having accidents at night a few times a week. Nothing really big or major, but I still wear the diaper at night. It can be frustrating figuring out this jpouch life, but it sure as heck is so much better than having the illeostomy bag thing for sure. Thankyou.
