Hello, I've been in the hospital the last 10 going on 11 days. Had dehydration, a lot of pain, high temperature, low BP. Cat scans ended up showing a lot of inflammation near my Jpouch, thought there may have been a leak from the pouch but no leak was found. DR said it coulda been pouchitis, I'm in the second step of my surgery my third surgery (takedown) is next month. I was wondering if pouchitis is usually painful? My whole stomach hurt , had cramping on my sides etc. any info is appreciated.

thank you

My surgeon said the leak was a possibility, but my fever went away and inflammation decreased with anti biotics. I had my rectum removed and j pouch created December 27th, 2016. So maybe it was just inflammation from the surgery. I also have been on nutrient bag (TPN) for the past wk so I just started eating real food again. I have been taking Imodium too it's just so hard to drink enough to keep up with my output..
