I am almost two years with successful j pouch. The last 4 days I am having cramping in lower and upper belly. No female organs left, no gall bladder. Today the cramps hit horridly in low left and upper right. If I did not know better I would swear, "the baby is moving" but I know that not possible.
Could this be a blockage that is moving through small intestines? I have never had a blockage so this is new.
No appetite, less going, less urine. I have vomited 4-5 times also. I do not have a doctor right now, changes insurance and my colorectal moved to Israel. Going Monday for referral to colorectal again, 2 year follow up. If this is urgent tell me please. I can get to my hospital and be checked.
This pain shoots up to about a ten+ then goes away for awhile. But comes back in waves.
Thank you

It looks like you just posted this and it is Monday morning. After 4 days you need to have this checked out. Hopefully the surgeon that you are referred to has an acute appointment for you today or will call the hospital ahead of you telling them to get you right in.

In my opinion you should be seen in ER but others might think you can manage this at home. I have never had a total obstruction and would go.

Sounds like you've got some blockages going on. You can develop adhesions anytime after having abdominal surgery. Maybe that's what is going on with you. I started out with just one originally and after 10 years I have three areas I have problems in.

I was told by my GI if you are vomiting because of them you need to go to the hospital.

Hoping this has cleared up since you posted this, but if not keep in touch and let us know how it's worked out.
