complications post j pouch surgery
by peppertoo, Oct 04, 2009 11:24AM
I am living with J pouch 10 years, maintaining on Cipro to prevent poouchitis which is working well. I am symptom free, however, I recently found blood in urine (via urine test, not visible). Doc is ordering 24 hour urine, I was wondering if anyone had similr occurrence of stones or calcifications in urine? Is it due to poor absorpstion of water?

I have had my pouch 16 years without any issues. Hope it is a quick and easy fix for you.

Thanks for your input. Glad to hear you are doing so well! Are you on any antibiotic? I also take the VSL#3 probiotic. Will be getting report end of week. Should be minor, dont anticipate any big problems. Regular blood work and check up is fine, otherwise.

No, I don't take antibiotics. Twice in the 16 years my GP thought I might have pouchitis and put me on rounds of Cipro and Flagyl but I don't think I had it. What happens when you don't take the antibiotics? That seems such a long time to be on them.

Could you possibly have a UTI??
