Thinking this is my first bout of pouchitis.. ?

possibly..call your doc. one does not have to have cramps,fever etc..but increased b.m and looser than usual and perhaps feeling of not emptying can be pouchitis..

Could also be something that is going around...flu, gastro etc...or something that you ate that your pouch was not ready for...Go on to the BRAT diet for a short while (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast & tea) and keep really hydrated...if you are running water through you then you need more in you...if you start to feel dizzy, nauseous, feverish etc...Then please, call the doctor.

Thank you so much. I'm thinking it may have been something I ate as it went on for a few days and now seems to have mostly cleared up. I am seeing my surgeon on Monday so I'm thinking he may be able to take a quick look.

THAT happened to me and they put me on a round of cipro and i am feeling so much better. Hope it continues after this round of meds is over with. Feels good to feel good for a change.
