Reply to "Question for successful pouchers"

I had takedown on feb16th so nearly 2 and a half months ago.

 

I only seem to get burn if I eat something hot/spicey. I do always wash with a handheld bidet after emptying (its a portable one and I take it out with me in a wash bag wherever I go). I think if I didn't use that I would get more burn. I only use calmpseptine now when I feel a bit itchy or sore after wiping. at first I was using it every time I went to the toilet.

 

my stool is usually semi formed and I seem to empty in 2 or 3 waves. I like to take my time, 10 mins on average and make sure it all empties. I think maybe my pouch fills up again whilst I am on the toilet so that's why I need to take a bit of time. I was straining more at the beginning but that's got a lot better. maybe just a bit of a push to get the last bit out and some gas. I do like to drink one or two coffees a day to flush everything out.

 

I seem to be able to eat everything I want now, although I do avoid hot/spicey things because it will hurt later on. certain things will make me go more often/give me gas, but I can't really narrow it down to anything particular so I just eat what I want.

 

my biggest problem is overeating, its a bad habit of mine, and that increases my frequency.

 

I dont get much urgency now, unless I have held things in for longer than im supposed to. then it gets uncomfortable, but I have good control

 

if I overeat I get a bit of bloating and abdominal discomfort too but it passes
