Hello I had jpouch surgery on 4/16/18. I am still leaking through the day from bottom is that normal? My surgeon said it will be like that for awhile. I was taking Lomotil however that doesn’t seem to help nor does tincture. I don’t know what to do at this point it is so annoying. I also take 4 oz’s of Metamucil in the morning with breakfast. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Are you like leaking everyday or just somedays ? I am month down my takedown leakage is no more not even in night. I take pysillium husk 2 hours before bed. The fiber helps you clear up your stomach. So it can cause urge to go for 1-2 hours. Try holding off as long as you can mostly its the pressure of gas built up . If you let loose your muscles it comes out as its not too solid yet. Eat more foods that thicken the output like brown bread, brown rice , bananas, meats etc.
Good Luck 👍
Thanks for your reply Raj. Yes it’s everyday even though i take Metamucil once a day. I will start taking 2 hours before bed. I do eat bananas and oatmeal to help.
Do you take peanut butter or other greasy items or choclates ? I am allergic to peanuts so when I take peanut butter it starts leaking so i've stopped it for a while now. Even with choclates I cant have too much. My output becomes all liquid with just a small bite. Same goes for deep fried stuff. Try putting out things you think might be causing loose stool you'll soon fond the culprit LOL .
Thanks again I will start a food diary.
