It's hard at the 2 month stage but I dont remember bleeding.I was using a travel bidet,calmoseptine and a hairdryer after each bm,changing my undies 3 times aday and shitting my pants at night.Its hard what you are going through.Im nearly 2 years out from takedown and I work and go to the gym .I use the toilet normally now .I eat pretty bland food ,take a probiotic,vit c,loperamide.It does get better but it's like being a baby again at the start.hope this helps,my uncle had the jpouch surgery before the internet so he had no advice about the timeframes of recovery and so asked for the jpouch to be removed after a short time as he couldn't stand the pain.I think if he had a forum like this he would have persisted longer.
