Incontinence

I have read about people still having incontinence with the time frame you are still in. I believe it will fix itself over time. Many people wear diapers overnight that are in your situation and time frame. I think the only thing you need right now is being patient with your new normal, only time can fix this. It will faithfully get better over time.

Have you tried Calmoseptine for butt burn?

Thanks Mary for your reply. I suppose I was hoping there might be something that I wasn’t doing that could help.
Yes, I have used Calmiseotine and my butt burn is now under control…. Famous last words😄

I totally understand where you are coming from. Unfortunately its all about TIME right now.

And yay!!! Glad to hear that! Calmospetine is MAGIC

To me this sounds most likely to be pouchitis. If it is then 10-14 days of Cipro or Flagyl would generally clear it right up. Time will not help pouchitis.

If you had leakage and seepage right along since your j-pouch surgery, then giving it time to work itself out might work. However, since leakage and seepage are new symptoms, I'd be more inclined to think this is pouchitis as Scott suggested. The antibiotics suggested by Scott will fix you up in no time.

Scott and Roseviolet,

many thanks for your suggestions, I had wondered about Pouchitis myself but because I have none of the other symptoms I guess I thought there was something else. I will be back with my consultant in the next week or so and follow it up.

many thanks
