J-pouch problems

I have had a J-pouch for 8yrs and it has been problem free. For the past month I have had severe pains in my pouch which is very painful when I go to the loo.I used to have good  j-pouch capacity but now I am going to the loo constantly  and can hardly walk at times. I will be talking to my surgeon next week but does anyone know what this could be?

Hi there!  I've had a J-pouch for 15 years without any problems.  It sounds like you may have pouchitis and hopefully a round of some good antibiotics might get you back on track.

I have had a j-pouch for 17 years and I agree with Trudie that you probably have a pouchitis.  Antibiotics and my doctor has me on lactulose for chronic pouchitis.
