New j-poucher

SparkmanMember

I had my take down surgery 10/28/13, I'm due to see my surgeon for a follow up tomorrow
I'm not sure if I have pouchitis or not , but I'm making about 20 trips to the bathroom a day. Taking lamotil 2 pills X4 times a day, doc has me eating anything I want no restrictions..I'm hoping my pouch is just a late bloomer, and things will slow down eventually...iWork's appreciate any info from more experienced j- pouchers. FYI surgery was done at mount Sinai in NYC, And I live in ct. So I'm not looking forward to the train ride and cab ride,knowing how frequent I visit the bathroom...

Do you have a temperature 99 or above? Keep a log of what you eat and number of trips to the bathroom per day. Foods that didn't used to bother you may now be a problem.

Hello, I had my take down at the end of August. I averaged 15 times per day in the beginning. Now I am averaging 7 or 8. I am not on a restricted diet, but I am becoming more aware of what foods seem to be problematic. Good luck with the doctor. I know the stress of traveling doesn't help matters.
