partial blockage or what??

CatinthehatCatinthehatMember
Woke up at 5 am with a major mess in bed. (J-pouch for 4 years). I have had night leakage before but this was MUCH MORE than that. Very loose but not watery or bloody. Before bed I had felt somewhat constipated and gassy but was passing stools tho not feeling like I was getting emptied out. There has been NO pain, only a somewhat bloated feeling. No fever but yesterday I was feeling unusually irritable.
I recently had a scope which showed some inflammation and Dr. was concerned about possible fistula, but a followup MRI did not show anything. Dr started me on Canasa suppositories for the inflammation, which I only started a couple days ago. BUT, last night I skipped the dose because of the feeling of not emptying out. I did not want to slow things down more, which the Canasa seems to do.
Does this sound like a partial blockage? I have not had this before. Could it be due to skipping the dose of Canasa?
At this point (1 1/2 hours later) I don't feel like I have to go at all and still feel a little bloated. Worried.

Hi Richard,

This does not sound like a partial blockage at all. If you had any type of blockage, you would have abdominal pain.

This sounds like you might have issues with your sphincter which is what gives you the feeling to go to the toilet. If it is irritated, then you could have the feeling to go but not able to pass stool.

Sometimes, when a person is extremely tired, they do not get woken up and stool passes when sleeping. Remember your body is more relaxed when sleeping, so it is much easier to pass stuff.

I myself have difficulty passing gas when on the toilet, but in bed on my side it comes out quite easily.

Diet can also cause bloating, especially bread. I have avoided bread (and wheat for that part) during the last 10 days. My weight is down 10 pounds and no more bloating.

While I am not a doctor, I do not think there is anything to worry about in this case.

now if your sphincter is irritated, there is a nefedemine (prescription) based cream which can help ease spasms and reduce the feeling of going to the toilet. In addition, calmoseptine can act as a barrier to protect the sphincter also.

Good luck and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me at your convenience.

Solomon
