Going in for a flex scope/possibly pouchitis

NewShinyCDMember

Well I got my blood worked checked on and it turns out that I have iron deficiency anemia.

So my new GI doctor since having my surgery suggested that we do both an upper endoscopy to rule out Celiac since I was never tested for it and also a flex scope to check the jpouch for pouchitis.

I've been having more night leaks and my bathroom frequency has increased to about 10 or so a day and around 3 at night, even with Imodium, which my GI doesn't think is normal. Also I've been noticing more urgency (although it doesn't hurt...just really uncomfortable). I also feel really run down.

Also something interesting I found: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17198064

A study which links that iron deficiency anemia to pouchitis.
