Yeah when Imodium doesn't do the trick it's likely some sort of infection. The nausea may explain that. do you get leakage?

Yes every now and then. What type of infection do you think? 

Well, pouchitis springs to mind immediately, do you feel any cramping or pain when going to the bathroom?

No not at all. 

Do you have a lot of milk or dairy in your daily diet?

Yes. We reintroduced it after I was in hospital and had to go on a liquid diet for two months. 

I find that dairy in large amounts especially milk can cause this issue. I used to drink a lot of milkshakes and ended up having the worst diarrhoea I'd ever had with the sweats 

I will take that into account. Thank you very much. 

I’m guessing that when you write “diarrhea” you mean that the stool is more liquid than you would like. If it’s pure liquid then it’s well worth fixing, but if it has more of a pudding consistency then it’s just fine. In any case, a good way to thicken and bulk up stool, if that’s what you’re trying to do, is soluble fiber. Many of us use psyllium (like Metamucil or Konsyl), and some use Benefiber or Citrucel.

Pouchitis isn’t exactly an infection, but it is treated with antibiotics. Unless there’s some urgency or leakage it wouldn’t be my first guess here, but it’s possible.

Thank you for the advice! 

I would recommend to  be checked for pouchitis. Ciproflaxin might help in this case.

In addition, you can also try Metamucil which will make stool more solid by taking a lot of the liquid.

Good luck

This seems to help me maintain a healthy pouch-Metamucil every morning & switching  to almond milk for most dairy alternatives. I go light on sugar as that tends to not agree with my pouch. In the past my liquid output was almost always food related and if I had pouchitus I felt awful (fluish)- that’s how I started to piece together my structures vs pouchitus,etc.     Hope you feel better.

Seems you have a mild pouchitis. I have it often if I increase of my dairy intake too much. I feel relieved when I cut it back. 2 glass is fine any more makes me run alot more and loosly too. Same with too much fried,salad or junk. I got myslef pysllium husk in raw form and now I take it twice once in morning and once at night helps alot. Also exercising reguraly too helped me bulk up the stool too. Simple walking 5k+ steps a day is very effective. I take no meds and 3 months post takedown I am going 7-8x a day mostly in morning and night.

Thank you for your advice. I am definitely going to reduce my dairy too.
