Thanks Ryan138 - greatly appreciate it. If you don’t mind me asking, do you have a JPouch now - and if so - are you putting out 2,000ccs out of your JPouch? I would worry that I would be have 15x bowel movements a day if I maintain this level of output. Or, so I understand better, when you had a takedown surgery to hook up the JPouch, did your output calm down. How many bowel movements are you having now? Thanks for taking the time to help me. I feel very nervous.

When I first got my J-pouch, I was going close to 40x a day, but now its 13-20x a day. I am sure once you get your pouch, the bms will decrease. Only one way to find out though.

Having a lot of bms a day is not so bad once you get the hang of things with the J-pouch. I am sure you are resilient and can handle anything

And taking loperamide is definitely safe if you choose to change your mind about it someday. Just about everybody on here has taken that and lived to tell the tale.
