Reply to "Pouchitis or cuffitis?"

I have the same thing going on..I have searched all over the Internet for answers on this topic..most of what I find is that the mucous is normal and even some stool is normal. This is a daily occurrence for me(4-5 times daily) A few have said it could be diversionary pouchitis but my surgeon feels once I have takedown the mucous stops (just mixes in w stool).also you're 5 weeks out from major surgery..when I was around 6 weeks out I started to experience major rectal pain..my surgeon felt that was healing pain..the fact that I've been passing so much mucous has caused major pressure in the rectum (occasional spasm) and even butt burn so even though I haven't had takedown I started w sits baths and barrier creams..I don't know if you should panic yet about cuffitis or pouchitis prior to takedown unless you're having lots of bright red blood passing through..additionally being female I have noticed that cramping is way more intense during ovulation and period since the surgery. I know the feeling you're having as the last 8 weeks I've been worried too about life after takedown because of the symptoms were experiencing.. I'm 8 days away from takedown so I'll know soon enough...
