Reply to "I CAN NOT PEE!"

Two days without peeing starts to be risky for your kidneys. It sounds like you’ve got something pretty serious going on, and you need medical attention. I don’t know if you’re better off calling your doctor or heading into an Emergency Department - it kind of depends on your doctor. Although EDs tend to know nothing about J-pouches, they’re likely to understand your ileostomy. They can easily place a catheter to distinguish between urinary retention (the pee getting stuck) vs. not producing enough. I hope you feel better soon!
