I, too, feel the same with dukee11. I had a takedown 4/30/2012 and this j pouch is like having UC all over again. I have contractions/pain when going and go anywhere from 4 - 15 times a day. Is that normal at this time? I have been on a picc line (nutrition) since June 20th. I am down to every other day. Running mild fever 100.4 that comes and goes and they still can't figure out why. Waiting to see GI in Sept. hopefully, she can shed some light on this very dark tunnel. Still waiting for it to get better.....
