Hi all!



I just wanted to ask if someone has had the same thing as me.
During the time when I got UC and still had my colon but it was inflamed, then I sometimes got some strange lower back pain. Its a strange feeling and you feel its not actually your back, its from inside. Sometimes I draw a paralell from having a stomach bug, at least for me I get this ’uncomfortable feeling sick to my stomach back pain’ .

I cant recall I felt that since my ileostomy surgery 2018 (jpouch 2019) but recently I have started getting more problems with stomach ache, nasea, gas problems, gurling stomach, burping etc. And also this lower back ”pain”. Have someone had similar?

More than a decade ago when I had pouchitis, it manifested with much gurgling, lots of gas, frequency increase, fatigue and lower back ache. This episode of pouchitis was induced from taking NSAIDS.

WOW!!!! I never knew pouchitis can be caused by NSAIDS! I knew it could irritate the pouch but never knew that part. How does NSAIDS cause pouchitis? Because of the irritation from the meds???

    • Lauren, the explanation is below. I was told never to use NSAIDS again. It seems that some with pouches can take them without ill effect. I was taking them for migraine relief. Since the pouchitis attack, I've been switched to sumatriptan. --Rose

      • NSAIDs cause a dual assault on the GI tract: the acidic molecules directly irritate the gastric mucosa, and inhibition of COX-1 and COX-2 reduces the levels of protective prostaglandins .
