Upper GI with SBFT and Transit TIme | The J-Pouch Group

HeatherPyleMember

I had an Upper GI with small bowel follow through today for constipation. It took 4 hours for the barium to pass and enter my pouch. Does anyone know what the average transit time is for the small intestines when without large intestines? Also, does the small intestine slow down or speed up when they are functioning as large intestines as well. The Radiologist said the test was 4 hours long and the small intestine and pouch was fine. I was just concerned over the transit time.

Heather,

4 hours seems about right to me. My breakfast comes out around lunchtime, and my lunch comes out at dinner time.

My pouch is almost 19 years old and that's how its always been.

Sounds about right to me too. For me, anywhere from 2-12 hours is normal, depending on what I am eating.

I used to be more predictable, but now I'm like Jan with my nearly 24 year old pouch... but I'd say I'm more like 6-12 hours now.
