Reply to "Pouchitis and cuffitis"

If you want to thicken up your stool then psyllium powder might do the trick. A J-poucher usually does better with soft stools rather than formed stools, though no one likes watery stools. Cipro and Flagyl usually work pretty well on pouchitis, which commonly causes urgency and leakage/accidents. They may not do much for cuffitis, though, which could possibly be the source of your pain. Cuffitis is often treated with topical mesalamine (e.g. suppositories or enemas), which can take a few weeks to start working.
