Re: rectal spasms

Hi All,

I thought I was on the path to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with my j-pouch. I had my take down surgery back in July and finally for 3 weeks I felt normal and spasm free. All the sudden the spasms have come back full forth around about 5 an hour. Has anyone ever experienced something similar and is this a sign I have pouchitis again? Please let me know as soon as possible or could this be stress induced and a small UC flare up even though I no longer have my colon?

Thanks!

You can have IPS, irritable pouch syndrome which is like IBS. You can do an Internet search on it or look under Pouchitis discussion topic. I started a discussion there about IPS vs Pouchitis a while back and have links to 3 places that discuss it throughout the comments. It could be pouchitis again like you said. It sounds painful at 5 per hour
