That does not sound like pouchitis to me. I have had my pouch for 17 years, and when I have pouchitis, that just means much more trips to the bathroom. I've never experienced horrible pain like your describing. Did they put you on antibiotics for the inflammation? 

Just because no leak was found, it does not mean there was none. Sure sounds like a septic complication and an abscess may eventually reveal itself. I've been there and it was no pucnic!

You can have tiny leaks that are not visible on CT scans. Sounds like a slow leak building an abscess, especially with the fever and pain. 

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..

Hopefully it isn't a leak ��
