I'm 15 years out and doing very well with my J-pouch, thankfully. (I had high grade dysplasia/UC) I take 4-5 immodium-once a day AM- some times twice.
What is the "normal' suggested dose for j-pouches? Since this was a verbal suggestion from my surgeon, with no written prescription, I can't quite remember what dose I should be taking.
I probably go about 5-6 times a day and my lifestyle allows this without a problem- never urgent. However, two things cause me to post here for further research. 1. Lately, I've been leaking more at nighttime. and 2. I'll be traveling in Europe for 21 days in mid- july so I am thinking perhaps it would be best to investigate how the immodium and Diet may play a part in controlling my need to go as well as leaking at night.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. thankyou.
