poop consistency fluffy and ragged | The J-Pouch Group

RenReevesMember

Ok,

sorry in advance for this question :/

I am noticing my poop consistency is often ragged, fluffy, floating chunks. In normal people, this can signal fat malabsorption and a few other things, like IBD, etc. I still have my small intestine and since MOST nutrients are absorbed there, and all of my nutrition numbers are great, I wonder if this type of poop is "normal" in a pouchie? Does anyone else experience this type of consistency? My pouch was created 6 months ago and has been in operation for 3 months.

If you are having no pain, urgency, leakage, or excessive frequency then poop consistency is likely to be of no importance whatsoever.

The only thing would add to @scott f post above is that when I overindulge and I get excessive gas, the stools tend to float.

Since I take gasx with every meal (does not eliminate but reduces the intensity of the flatulence) those instances occur infrequently.
