I need some support. I am 10 days post-op from my surgery and ended up in ER yesterday because I was dizzy and going 15-20 times in 24 hour period. the er doc didn't know much about jpouch so he called my surgeon who over the phone diagnosed me with pouchitis and told him to give me flagyl. I have had 18 bm's since midnight last night. I am at my wit's end. They didn't do any tests on me and gave me two bags of iv fluids for dehydration. if I had pouchitis, shouldn't the flagyl have worked by now. They tell me to keep fluids up but I feel like I am fighting a losing battle. I am starting to have regret and can't go on like this. how can I get pouchitis in a brand new pouch?
