I tried to hold as long as possible last night. I would keep getting these almost spasm feelings. I think it was the feeling of the waste passing my the sphincter into the pouch. possible cuffitis?This happened every 10 minutes or so for an hour, then I couldn't take it any more and had to go. I did feel pressure building up off center to the right very low, after each spasm. the pouch filling?So all the other times I go when I just get a sharp pressure feel at the sphincter, I wonder if its not taking the turn into the pouch. At those times I will go a lot and its formed so it could be really long. I could not imagine that would be in the pouch. plus I don't feel a full pouch sensation. I think the pouch would have to be huge. So after 8 weeks maybe my pouch hasn't really expanded much. Does anyone take stool softeners. I am taking metamucil and lomotil. When I stopped the metamucil I went from long formed to hard pieces. when I stopped Lomotil I feel like I start too get more rectal spasms. I wonder if the consistency of my stool is making it hard to fill the pouch. I hope this makes sense. I have my follow up on Friday so hopefully my doctor won'r look at me like I have two heads. I don't think I can take going 10 times in four hours like I have been from 4-8:30pm. then I go three times at night too.
