What helps me a bit is warm baths or sitz baths ( seems to help open up the anal canal to release stool and helps with the pain) and rectiv or nifedipine. Both are creams that bring more blood flow to the anal area to help with stenosis. You may want to talk with your GI about using these. I have been fighting multiple problems for the four years since I have had a pouch and in my case, I am pretty sure my pouch life is limited as my problems continue to get worse, not better.

 

 

Jeane I'm sorry about your pouch & all the problems.  If it doesn't work out what will they do for you? Wow I feel like I know absolutely nothing.  I had my surgery, my surgeon didn't really tell me anything just kinda watch my foods.  Might need Imodium & follow up in a year.  Never saw him because I felt fine.  How often do you go in for a scope?  When I just had my first one I freaked out when they wanted me to take dosolax & mirelax because that is the only thing that stands out that he told me, no laxatives.
