@Kh1988 posted:Thanks for your reply! I’m doing ok. I just started the PT. They said it will take prob 6-8 weeks to see good results with the sphincter “massaging”. If I take the miralax every day it helps a lot! I also started taking digestive super enzymes, and strangely it seems to be helping me empty too, along with keeping my bloat waay down! When I’m having a bad day, I do use a water enema to clear me out but I may invest in the catheter instead. I think I’d do just about anything to avoid the ileostomy lol. If my jpouch didn’t work out, I’d go for the BCIR/k pouch...can’t remember if that’s what it’s called? I could live with my current situation though. It’s not ideal and frustrating at times, but it could be worse 😊
You are welcome! I am glad you are doing okay 
I am glad everything is better with the Miralax and everything else! Since everything is working now, I think the motto "if it is not broke do not fix it" fits lol. Maybe the catheter should be used if what you are doing now fails but then again it could be better with it, who knows really, I am just glad everything is working!
Yeah I believe you said the K-pouch right! I heard good things about it on here; originally I thought it would have been problematic but I heard great results about it. One person on here even told me that they had to trade in their J-pouch due to problems for a K-pouch and it worked out perfectly for him! At least you have other options.
