Night time frequency is exhausting

Doug KMember

Hi J Pouch community- I am 7 weeks post takedown “Final J Pouch hookup”. I am going about 15 times a day - and 2 times at night. I cannot take any bowel slowing medicine because I am allergic to the active ingredient across the entire class. My question - 1) after time - will I go more like once per night? Do people with a J Pouch for a year plus still go 2x per night. I realize a lot of folks are on Lomotil or Imodium.

2) Other than stopping all drinking and eating after 7pm, are there any other “tricks” I could employ to get a better night sleep? Like taking a few scoops of fiber or something?

Thanks for all of the help this year.

Doug
