Hello,

I have had my j-pouch for 10 years. 2 weeks ago, I started with a gassy pressure in my abdomen and had little normal output that day, mostly frequent small watery stools. The next day, I felt hungry so I ate breakfast, and within an hour, I vomited and contined to do so throughout the day. I thought it may have been a partial blockage due to eating kale and a spring salad and maybe not chewing well. I went to straight liquids for 2 days, then started eating normally. I have not felt nauseous since then, but I have had a feeling of gassy pressure, and it is constant. It is from my belly button down. It feels like I am full of gas, but rarely any comes out. It feels like I am emptying completely, but not much is coming out per bathroom trip. My trips have increased a little, but it is mostly due to me trying to get some gas out.

I have had pouchitis a few times over the years and it doesn't feel like that.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Becky
