Gee, I don't know. The studies they did on loperamide dosage showed no clinical benefit in doses over 16mg/day. It isn't dangerous, just pointless.

If you still have codeine, adding that may help. But, yeah, time and patience is the key ingredient. Believe me, we've all been there.

Thank you so much for replying Jan. I know it's early days but at this time I feel as if whatever is coming out is like boiling hot lava! 

May I ask, when did you start to have a 'normal' BM for a jpoucher? 

Gee, that was 20 years ago and my memory is dim. I guess a couple of months. Be sure to use barrier cream to avoid butt burn.

Hi Pufferfish, Took me 2 or 3 months to settle, I was like you with Ileo. The best thing that helped was a bulking agent, I use 3.5g x 3 a day of Pysllium or Plantago Ovata. Diet was brat, bananas, rice, apples, toast. Good luck Paul.

I'll get my husband to pick them up from our health food shop tomorrow then! Thank you so much for your advice
