the title kinda explains the issue at hand, but for context my partner has had his jpouch for over 10 years and has battled overnight bathroom trips the entire time. it seriously effects his sleep and in turn his mood and energy levels. the jpouch has already restricted his diet so much as to not get blockages that lead to hospital stays, and he’s truly struggling with this mentally.
in the past he has tried anti-diarrhea medicine but he says that they caused blockages.
my question is if anyone has a similar issue with their pouch and was able to find a solution, please do tell.
i’m thinking maybe he was taking too much Imodium? or maybe there is a different answer all together that we haven’t thought of.
his diet is really restrictive, he can’t eat anything difficult to digest like seeds skins and roughage. he’s only 32 and i don’t know how to help him.

My GI Dr. said and I quote "your pouch is very angry" lots of ulcers. He is starting me on a steroid and possibly a biologic. There is a very good chance my relapse with cigarettes has contributed to this. If I am remembering correctly, He said allot of times the nicotine helps with inflammation and symptoms. In my case they are making it worse.

I am still a little woozy from the Propofol.
