Reply to "Not completely emptying, not pouchitis?"

Hi Mike 13,....read your post with great interest as since I had a spell of tummy flu/gastroenteritis in January I have not been able to 'go' properly. Urghhh, I find it so frustrating, I feel so bloated and 'dry'. I am so used to being more the opposite....... this drives me mad. I know I need to go but it 'stays up there'. In the end, the only thing that really does the trick is flat coca-cola, then it's a lovely relief.

Are these the feelings/symptoms that others have with Pouchiytis. I am asking because although I have had my pouch for 14 years I have never known such feelings of dehydration. Don't think it can be this 'cos I take a sachet of dioralyte (electrolytes) everyday.

I'll never complain of being loose again 'cos it's far better than this. I take 1x codeine phosphate/day, no other drugs. I am lost and flipin' fed-up with it.

Thanks and so grateful for ANY suggestions.

Mike, sorry, I don't mean to pinch your post, sorry, Megan from Lincoln, UK.
