Reply to "Progress after J-Pouch surgery"

KMiller, thanks for detailing your journey...patience seems to be the most important quality and good to be reminded by those who have gone before. Next week I'll be at 3 months and it has been an experience. Part of this has been frequent leaks which are more common over night. Then there are the seemingly endless feelings of urgency not counting the 15+ bathroom trips daily. But I'm hopeful of improvement over time as you mentioned. FYI, I've done the fiber (Citrucel) and it can help if you have a lot of loose/liquid bowel activity. I've also done Imodium (Loperamide...the generic) which does slow things down but can make bowel activity in the bathroom take longer! Currently I'm not taking anything and doing ok except for the urgency and the number of bathroom trips. Thanks again for sharing your experience.
