Please consult your doctor again regarding your issues. In 2006, I ignored those same symptoms because no on told me about intestinal blockages. By the time I did go to the hospital the blockage had strangled part of my small intestines. I went into septic shock, had several fistulas, was in a coma for 3 wks, spent 9 months in the hospital. Please do not ignore your symptoms....you know your body better than anyone. You could just have pouchitis, which I would have your doctor check out. Good Luck to you. No one realizes how much this type of surgery takes a toll on your physical and mental well-being. It's wonderful to have this group as a resource to go to. Kera – I have had my pouch since 2003.

I was one of the first patients to have one performed. My quality of life overall was much improved. However, I have had my share of complications, and many episodes of pouchitis also. I recently had an ileostomy because of pouch dysfunction. My J pouch is still intact, and I hope to get hooked up again at a later time. I have had my J pouch for 22 years.

I went to the ER last Thursday doubled over in pain and had extreme nausea....they thought that I had a partial blockage but by the time they got me back for x-ray they didn't show anything....I have still been having some issue's, not as bad but I have pain and bloating and things just arent' right. The doctors keep thinking that my small intestines are getting "Kinks" because there is more room now with no colon. Today is the first time I have read about pouchitis...I'm wondering why my GI hasn't checked my j-pouch to make sure it isn't infected Shakena…..how were you diagnosed with pouchitis?

I researched through US News & World Report where the best GI doctors were. Mayo in Rochester was tops, followed by Cleveland Clinic, etc. Insurance even covered the entire deal for me. Was it hard to go out of state to get help for this? Yes, but I would do it again - the level of care was that much better than it was here.  You can check out this page at my blog to see my story of UC and my 2 trips to Mayo Clinic. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!  http://pencilshavingsblog.com/about-3/ulcerative-colitis-me/ Unequivocally, getting the JPouch was the BEST decision I have ever made with regards to my health.
