Reply to "New Patient; J-Pouch Surg 03/26/2019"

Thank you again everyone for being so willing to share info and your experiences. We've pulled the Advil from the mix, dropped the Imodium down to one tab every 4-6 hrs, and added Citrucel powder to the mix (this was the bulking fiber recommended by the home care ostomy nurse when he had the temp ileo). His appetite is nearly next to nothing and he's said nothing tastes appetizing. I'm having to "negotiate" to get him to eat a few more bites.

I recall we had a similar problem when dealing with the UC flares and found it was as a result of Prednisone. Could one of the meds [Imodium, GasX, Pepcid, Fibercon (replaced with Citrucel as of this morning), or Percacet] be causing appetite and taste issues?
