Reply to "Pouchitis?"

Just in case you mean a feeling of slight pressure or dumb pain from inside when the pouch is not empty - that might be cuffitits, an inflammation of the rectum cuff. For me the feeling that I have to go to the toilet starts much earlier than usual with cuffitis and it is more urgent, thus increasing frequency. Antibiotics or budesonide may help in that case, or you have a proctoscopy done to clarify.
