TE Marie posted:You might add Metamucil, especially after your evening meal. I was instructed by Mayo professionals to take Imodium as an appetizer and Metamucil as dessert. They had me mix it in a little applesauce and not to drink much fluid around then.
Have you been tested for c.diff? I had it in my j-pouch along with cuffitis and had problems that sound like yours. You didn't mention having spa pouch scope yet. You could have pouchitis too. Those are the main things you should be checked for.
I'm sorry about your work situation. Hopefully you will soon be able to sleep more. That alone could make you fatigued.
Didn't seem like the Metamucil did much for me but good to know. They always want me to drink a ton of fluid - especially G2 garorade and if its water they want me to put salt in it, but I don't. I never understood that since I've always had extremely watery stool.
No C. diff. Had the pouch scope and was diagnosed with pouchitis and cuffitis (see my other reply) . Well, I'm off to see the doctor now. Thank you so much!
