I am 72. I had a 3 stage in March of 2014.
I had 20plus BM till I was put on Morphine Sulfate which gave me some kind of life.
My BM became 12 or so a day. I was told to expect 7 to 10 without the medication so I can live with it. I know its more extreme measure but also understand many are in same boat.
Recently my condition seems to have some improvement but not consistent.
I find some days I can avoid BM till evening meal. Also can sometimes sleep thru the night. My question concerns diet. Never told it was important. Now I know. Cutting out most foods. Can not find good diet book for Jpouch. Know everyone's different. Also now dealing with constipation when I eat. Use Prune juice but wonder if better alternative. Morphine better than the bag.
