Consistency | The J-Pouch Group

ValenMember

Hello All!

I’ve had my pouch for a year now, but I find myself confused over consistency. I tend to have loose stools (sometimes with formed bits in it) and my ‘normal’ or what I like best I’d say is like a pasty applesauce consistency. I go 3-5 times a day with no urgency, or leaking (unless it’s insanely watery). Is this normal? For my older pouchers, do you all agree this is normal or ok?

Thanks!

Sounds good Valen. I am actually better off when my output is loose, as I have trouble emptying when it is too thick. But you can try fiber (like Metamucil) or Imodium to reduce wateriness.

@Valen If you have no urgency, frequency, leakage, or discomfort then I don’t think you have any problem that needs solving.
