Hello everyone.... I am a new j poucher and am having similar situation. I am only 2 months post take down. I am so glad I found this site. My family is supporting me the best they can but none of them understand the feelings I am feeling all day and all night. I think I have read every post dealing with butt burn and that has really helped me. My average is 16+ BM per day. I am hoping that time will help. Imodium, fiber, lots of food, little food....any and all combos still equals 16+ a day for me. Big DH...I’m right here with you.....

Welcome Ryan

9% of J-pouchers go 13X or over everyday. Welcome to the 9% group lol. I am almost 6 years in and I got anywhere between 13X-20X a day. Your situation could change over time but then again it may not. If it does not, the best advice I can give is to accept things you cannot change and not let it get you depressed. Going multiple times a day is way better than painful constipation or suffering major bowel diseases/bleeding.
