Hi Pouchobro,
So sorry you’re going through such a rough time. I sympathize with your frustration 100%. You’re not alone. In fact I was just relieved from the hospital two weeks ago (blockage) and my biggest problem it is how to deal with so much gas.
I truly believe the diet have a lot to do with your problem. In my case: Pepper, garlic, fried foods, any caffeine beverages and dark chocolate cause me so much pain and lots of gas. You can start eliminating one item at a time as an experiment and see if the gas production decrease. You also can try hot breakfast meals (oatmeal, rice) to bulk your stools. They are delicious and high source of nutrients. Another tip I found useful it was home made chicken soup. Check for a variety of recipes online). I cook little chicken pieces, carrots, egg noddles and potatoes on mine and then put it in a blender. The consistency is creamy and tastes good. For the fries I suggest don’t deprive yourself if you enjoy them. Maybe you can bake potatoes slices on the with olive oil instead of soy or try directly to fry them with olive oil and see what happens.
I believe taking off a few items from your diet, and slowly introduce new ones will help you to regulate that excessive production of gas. It will get better. Unfortunately us, the jpouchers fellows need to try and try so many times different options on meds, foods, habits. So don’t give up, I’m sure you got this.
Good luck,
Laura
