Sorry to hear of what you are going through. Do you know with certainty it is a blockage? Did they do imaging tests in hospital? I had my first really severe blockage in October (also after decades with a good pouch). I had to eat clear fluids for weeks until I could pass food normally. It was hard energy-wise but i definitely felt better for both pain and bloating etc. not eating solid food. It took c. 5 weeks to get back to normal. It seems if you are going 20x/day, you couldn't be blocked because that means food is getting through--maybe its a partial block? Did they suggest clear fluid?
