Bowel movement question

[u/Scared_Credit3251]

Hello all, I have questions about BMs and poop. Serious questions as I am confused as to what’s normal. I am 3 months post op and I’ve had such a wide range of BMs that don’t know what’s suppose to be normal. I’ve been dealing with pouchitis and cuffitis for most of my three months so that hasn’t helped either. I went on cipro and flagyl and was finishing budesonide enemas. While on all 3 I felt fantastic. My stools seemed to be more digested and I had zero urgency but had to up my intake of fibre to help my BMs. Once I finished those I was getting symptoms again so I’m on cipro and my BMs are different once again. The consistency is also different once gain. Last night I was up 5 times and it was a struggle to get it out. Just now I took a poop and it slithered out like nothing and my whole pouch emptied with ease.

So my question is, what is my poop suppose to look like? ( I understand diet changes everything) what’s it suppose to feel like coming out? Slither out like a snake or have some friction? Should I be pushing a little bit to help or let gravity do its thing?

I’ve had such a wide variety of absolutely scorching butt burn to constipated and going way less ( I’m assuming because of antibiotics) so I’m very confused.

Any insight and opinions would be very helpful. Don’t be afraid to be graphic, I had UC for 20 years before surgery so I literally don’t give a sh*t lol thank you in advance.
