I had j pouch surgery in 2001 and fistula repair in 2015, since fistula repair my incontinence issues are much worse and I’ve had many occasions I’ve had major stool leakage at night, sometimes several times nightly…very frustrating! Since fistula repair I’ve also developed chronic pouchitis and this causes me to have daytime incontinence as well. I also have sensation of not being able to empty my bowel completely, feeling of pressure and spasms. I take Cipro and Flagyl and Dr. Martin brand of probiotics and Imodium 2 tablets every morning. Since fistula repair my j pouch performance has deteriorated big time. Anyone out there with similar issues and any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
