Yes my loop was a nightmare. Doing good with the pouch except I am being treated for cuffitis now which I suspect I've had for awhile. My loop leaked all the time. Had to delay takedown a few days because my skin was so raw due to output and inability to get the bag to stick. I rarely have very watery stools with the pouch. Hang in there!!

Stay the course,  you will be better after takedown.  There's more small intestine at work once you get the jpouch connected.  Sometimes with  the loop ileo I shot  out water like a fountain (that made me think of those weird little boy peeing fountains) and could listen to the sound of the appliance filling  up.   Now I get a bad watery episode maybe once every week or two,  much better.   Have you tried immodium or lomotil?  Do you get enough electrolytes - try pedialyte.

Thanks - I have a weird mast cell disease that makes me allergic to Imodium and Lomotil because they have a little hint of narcotic dna - and I am deathly allergic to narcotics.  So much so, that after all of my surgeries I can only take extra strength Tylenol post op.  I am praying that the J Pouch takes care of this.   Thanks for the support.
