Severe constipation

Hello all, I have had a j pouch since Sep 2015, no real problems until now. Suddenly this is week 4, I am passing no stool or gas, I went from at least 2 bowel movements a day with lots of gas to NOTHING. Of course this has caused a ton of discomfort and I can barely eat. I tried doing a enema once on week one and once on week 2 of this with no relief. Monday I had a abdominal x ray and it showed I was completely full of stool and gas. She is wanting me to do a colonoscopy prep but I have no colon and possibly go back to the colorectal surgeon for evaluation. Has anyone else had this happen? Any suggestions?
