Hey all,
I have a jpouch and these past couple of days I have been having liquidy stools that only dribbles out slowly while I'm using the bathroom. If I push harder, it just stops. It seems as if my bowels aren't moving to push the stool out. Has anyone had this problem before?
I've also been having vitamin deficiencies which have been getting worse even though I take vitamins daily.
I don't know what these issues are. I'm wondering if I may be gluten intolerant or if I have bacterial growth. I just feel sleepy most of the day, and sometimes I feel nauseated after eating, but I don't know if any of these problems are related.
Edit: I just want to add that I've had the jpouch for 13 years, and I haven't had any major problems other than anal strictures and a few abscesses which created fistulas.
