Leaking

There is a great deal posted on this site about how to deal with this. I suggest doing some searches and a bit of reading. The simplest approaches are thickeners (e.g. psyllium) and slowers (e.g. Imodium).

Thanks I've tried immodium but it doesn't really work. I'll try the other thing you mentioned

I had this happen nightly, sometimes more than once per night, for nearly 7 years after my j-pouch connection. I tried everything to make it stop and nothing worked. Then, I did not do anything different that I know of, but it tapered off then stopped all together. It might happen now 1 time every 6 months. I don't take any meds and eat what I want. I don't know why it stopped, but I am not complaining
There is always hope!

If Imodium doesn't work for you, Lomotil may do a better job (it does for me). Lomotil is prescription-only.

Thanks everyone

I agree with mainbound. Mine tapered off after a 7-day dose of Flagly. My doctor told me to take a probiotic. I cannot stand VSL#3, so I tried Align.

After about 3-4 weeks of using Align (and no other meds), I have noticed a significant difference in my happiness with my J-Pouch.

However, I do take 1 tablet of Tylenol PM at bedtime. I was taking Advil PM, but after about 2 weeks of taking it, it caused bleeding.
