So I have had the pouch for 7 years now. I have had pouchitis once. It was severe cramping, diarrhea, couldn't fully go. Went to bathroom at least once every hour. I thought I have had the stomach bug the past few days. Its been loose stools or diarrhea. However, this has been ongoing for about 5 days now and not improving. I am also having more urgency to go and burning sensation in the pouch. Going about 10 X per day now compared to regularly of 6-8 X. I do have a scheduled scope for this Friday as I have FAP and I have to have a routine one day every few years. I am beginning to think this is pouchitis but I'm not sure as it is not presenting the same way as when I got it a few years ago. Should I wait to get scoped? I'd hate feeling this way for three more days if it is pouchitis and have it get worse. Or should I begin doing Cypro…
Any comments would be helpful.
Thanks
