New to the group and need some help. Ever since surgery I've been having problems with night time incontinence. At first it was a couple times a week now it's been every night. Been getting really depressed. Thanks

Some people take Immodium, or Metamucil, so I'll let them chime in on that. (I never needed them.)
Try not to eat past 6 pm or so (might help), and in the beginning, thickening foods helped slow things down for me (potatoes, noodles).
And don't forget: Kegels. I Kegel'd like CRAZY in the beginning days. I think it helped.

For me that's always been a sign of pouchitis. First, though, in the early days after the surgery, you really need to try reasonable things to see what works for you. What are you doing now to manage your output?
skogie - you had the surgery from what I see in your profile ~10 years ago so have you been having this incontinence problem for 10 years?
