I had the J-pouch surgery back in 2016 and since I had the closure a year and a half later I’ve only had one review 6 months after the closure, before being transferred to my local hospital, where I’ve not had a review at all. At the moment I’m taking 10x Loperamide a day and 60mg of codeine a day to supposedly slow down the pouch. I have had on average between 15-20 movements a day since having the surgery, and because of not having a follow up I thought this was the normal and wasn’t untiL my partner looked into it, we realised that this was not the normal at. Have tried a lot of diets, to reduce certain foods and this doesn’t help either, and had notice that in my stools are whole tablets to reduce my sugar levels. If anyone has any advice or point me in the right direction of who to speak to would be very much appreciated.
