Reply to "1 Week post-takedown. Feeling really discouraged."

Thank you so much! I think she was more along teasing me because she said also this is a Type A thing it doesn't happen as often to Tybe B people. She knows my history of going to chiropractors for my back problems from soccer and knew previously that I can't not relax to get adjustments fully. I had an incredible surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic and she honestly had the best bed-side manners and is very intelligent. She's the top J-Pouch surgeon currently there and her husband does the same surgeries for Neonatal, both do robotic surgery as well. I didn't mean for that first comment to sound as if she was blaming that as the entire cause. She was more or less giving an example that I need to be able to find a common ground with my body to be able to relax so my brain and J-Pouch and "newly functioning" muscles down there can learn how to function properly. I drink Kefir as well and can't tell when I do or don't drink it if there's a difference honestly. I'm going to have to look into the bidet toilet seat. I took beano in the past but it doesn't seem to help me much. Haven't tried it yet with my pouch so I'm open to giving that another chance as well. She prescribed me Bentyl today for spasms to take before meals because it's so painful to eat anything. Everyone recommends the Sitz bath but being a girl, that's very unsanitary can cause us more harm than good even though it would be so soothing. I feel like I'm only able to relax and get the urge to actually go to the bathroom when I'm in the shower and have been considering getting like a bed-side commode to put in the shower short term while I'm trying to re-train my mind and body. I will definitely be looking into that Calmoseptine ASAP. I appreciate the feedback and advice, thank you!
