Reply to "Difficulty emptying J Pouch"

Hi guys,

I was reading the comments about this topic because I’m having the same problem emptying my JPouch, which is kind of new because didn’t Have this issue in the past.  Last week my GI recommended Benefiber and Scott just encouraged me to take it (thank you for that), but I wwonder if any of you have been experiment changes over the years with their pouches as I do.  And another question to you Helsbells, when you said a long course of antibiotics, if you don’t mind to share, are you talking of months? The longest period I ever take antibiotics (I used to have Pouchitis constantly also)  was a month. But used to be mostly two weeks.  Sometimes I have to stop the treatment because Cipro and Vancomycin cause me constipation. 

Please, anybody feel free to leave comments or suggestions.  

Thank you,

Laura

 

Have my JPouch for 5 years with lots of issues (Pouchitis, C.Diff, Helycobacter Pylori, blockages) including a big obstruction which required surgery to fix it.
