@Scott F posted:One thing to pay attention to is whether this is actually constipation (i.e. hard stool) vs.some sort of a mechanical blockage, like a stricture vs. a partial bowel obstruction, such as from adhesions. I’d suggest paying attention to what the enema frees up to help figure this out. It might also be worth connecting with a knowledgeable gastroenterologist. Good luck!
It wasn’t much, so you may be right! Unfortunately I don’t have a doctor appointment till the end of August! No one in my area even knows one thing about it. So that’s why I’m so reluctant and even go to the emergency room. My own family doctor to shakes his head but he’s called me every day this week to check on me. So he’s a good guy and he’s an internist he just doesn’t have experience with colectomy’s and J pouches. Thank you for getting back to me and your concern I really appreciate you!
Kind Regards,
