Hey fellow J-pouchers. I've been a long time lurker but haven't posted much. Feeling kind of under the weather the last week and wondering if you could should some light on my issues.

Symptoms:
Increased BMs with less volume
Tight anal muscles
Sore lower abdomen
Harder to tell what is gas and what is stool

History
3 Part'er back in 2005 w/ J-Pouch.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

The things that come to mind are pouchitis or a partial blockage. For a pouchitis diagnosis give your doctor a call and run your symptoms by her/him. For a partial blockage, try sticking with warm liquids for a bit to see if the symptoms lessen. Are you taking bowel slowers? If so, and if this is a partial blockage, you should stop taking them. Are you taking any other medication?

I hope you get answers quickly.
