Question about the symptoms

Patti AnnMember

It's been 4 years since my take down surgery. First couple of years I was wishing I hadn't had the surgery but it's slowly getting better. Recently though, I've been experiencing an overwhelming about of gas, burping, nausea and abdominal discomfort. In addition, increase in trips to the bathroom, urgency, some blood. Do these sound like pouchitis symptoms?

Yes most likely. Suggest a visit with your GI doctor. Usually a course of antibiotics will get you sorted.
good luck

To me it sounds a bit more like either SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) or an upper GI problem unrelated to the pouch. I second the suggestion for a visit to the GI doctor.
