Reply to "Is it Pouchitis?"

JFill,

I had pouch revision surgeries in 1998 and 2000 due to similar issues although the sensation I had was of incomplete evacuation due to the stool hitting a wall and feeling like it was blocked. Supposedly a “septum” developed in the pouch. In the surgery, a flap of pouch was stapled and I have not had a problem like that since the 2000 surgery, my last of 4 bowel surgeries related to the pouch.

Pouches enlarge after surgery and yours may have over enlarged and revision could (possibly) resolve these issues. They did with me as far as the incomplete evacuation.
