Reply to "Pouchitis? Gastroenteritis? Something else?"

Thanks for all the replies, it’s been very useful. So I had no night sweats last night (which is a miracle given the hot weather we’ve been having in the UK at the moment). My rectal area still feels quite sore and I have a throbbing, kind of stabbing type of pain just before I need to go for a bowel movement. What’s going on here, I do not know! Stomach seems to ache in the nighttime still and my output is a mixture of runny and formed with lots of yellow-ish/green fluid. I’m trying to keep hydrated by drinking oral rehydration solutions.

A question I did have is would probiotics help me out at all? I have heard good things about VSL#3 through my stoma & pouch nurse. I really don’t want this to be pouchitis and have a round of antibiotics.
