I just returned from the Cleveland Clinic where they did a minor surgery under light sedation to hopefully fix my "floppy pouch." My problem was that the collapsed part of the pouch was blocking the way out, causing me to strain horribly in the bathroom. Very painful! Plus this led to constipation and horrid bloating. I'm still recovering but wanted to mention it - maybe there's something that can be done to fix your pouch!
I hope you feel better soon 😊
Oh, I do hope it sorts things out for you! If I suddenly got rich, I would be on the first plane to the Ceveland Clinic and St Mark's in London to get second opinions. (I live in Australia.)
Please post again and let people know how you are going. Not many people post about floppy pouch (mine is "megapouch" variety – stretch out beyond recognition and muscles no longer contracting to push the poop out in a timely fashion).
Best wishes for getting things sorted out. By the way, isn't it bizarre to have constipation with a j-pouch :-)
