I have joined but don't know my way around it yet. Any mothers with kids who have jpouch? It's been 10 months and my son life has changed. He still wakes up with accidents and don't go out or like to walk cause he feels pressure and always has to go. He is home school due to him not feeling ready and it's gonna be a year. Any help or advice? He is on Colestipol. Loperamide and Metamucil.

Frowner I hate hearing that he's having so much trouble. It would be concerning to still have nighttime accidents after 10 mos. What does your surgeon say? Our daughter struggled for a month or two with that, about as long as her surgeon said it would. If they used the double-staple technique it can really stretch their bottoms and it takes time for the muscles to strengthen back up.

Of course, with the constant pressure it may be something else - cuffitis maybe? Any other symptoms?
