Hello All,

 

     So I have been having a rough week w my pouch and think I might be getting pouchitis again. HOWEVER I have a few symptoms that are not normally present when I get pouchitis.

 

Old Symptoms:

Urgency

Frequency

Burn (bottom)

Cramping

 

New Symptoms:

Insane Heartburn

Upper right abdominal pain (kinds right under my ribs)

Middle abdominal pain

Feeling of fullness in my stomach 

Waves a nausea (especially after eating)

Lack of appetite

Lower left abdominal pain (near my hip so kinda pelvic)

 

Any ideas? Is this just really bad pouchitis or something else??

Galbladder....

Do you ever feel like you have a knife in your back slightly to the right of your spine? Pain radiating up to your shoulder or neck? That is glabladder too.

The lower left abdominal pain does not compute with the galbladdar but it could be something else...or you could be having a minor blockage.

I would call the doc and have an abdominal ultrasound (even then, sometimes nothing shows up).

Good luck

I get tremendous mittleschmirz (ovulation) pain if I'm not on Nordette. When I get that pain from ovulating on the left, I get **terrible** left lower quadrant pain, radiating down my IT band on that side (my messed up side). Not sure if you're female or male though, ("Jess" could be either).

Agree the other stuff is unlikely pouch. What's your age?  Not that gall bladder *only* affects this group, but overweight ladies b/w 30-50 are most susceptible to gall bladder issues.

My dad gets similar issues, though, and has gastritis.

I probably should have included that I had my gallbladder out nearly 2 years ago and do have some narrowing and inflammation in my pancreas. I know I have inflammation right now because my eczema is acting up, and this typically occurs when I have underlying inflammation as I never try new skin products due to household sensitivities. I will continue to keep an eye on it. I am noticing the lower left pain does radiate toward my back as well. Thanks for all the support.....
