Thanks concertboy. I’m glad you found something. My docs don’t seem to want to go further than antibiotics and probiotics. However since my first post, I had a mri done where they injected gel into my pouch, had me bear down like evacuating it. At the very end they wanted me to just basically poop it all out on the mat in the mri so they could monitor it. I couldn’t. No way. Once I stood up, I went to a toilet and could get it out. But I was still painfully working it and the air injected along with it hours later.
So they’ve sent me back to where I started with the surgeon. He’s back to pushing for pelvic floor therapy as trying all non surgical options before the finality of an external bag. I see the other post here about that and it sounds like a long shot to me.
