I had a j pouch recently created and I'm due for take down within next few of months but since surgery I've been admitted to hospital every month due to severe dehydration and acute kidney failure.
Before admission, I endure stomach spasms which gradually become more severe & nauseating, not necessarily stomach cramps but very uncomfortable.
I'm vomiting & unable to hold down fluids.
The output of my Stoma is diarrhea, then eventually pure liquid and I'm emptying very frequent, far more than normal.
I also lose my appetite but on this occassion I've not been vomiting.
Before to J pouch surgery, I had an end ileostomy for years and during that time I was drug free and never experienced any flare ups or hospital admissions.
I've bees admitted into two different hospitals, one hospital twice and the diagnosis is Gastroenteritis ?
I thought that I had a blockage but this has been dismissed due to the result of X-ray.
It has been suggested I have probiotics drinks to balance the bacteria in my gut ?
I'm surprised, I'm enduring such difficulties and only since the J pouch surgery.
All opinions welcome.
