My hubby has a colectomy and j pouch. He gets blockages every now and then,sometimes pretty severely and can then keep nothing down, so he gets dehydrated, which makes it worse.
We are trying to avoid going to the hospital if possible, though we've done that several times over the past 16 years and a simple IV has done the trick. I'm curious to know if anyone has gotten through it just using enemas to absorb water into your system from below the blockage until it goes through? He's still not confused or feverish... He's had some pain meds, which is helping him hold on so far.
At the moment, that's what we're doing...hoping it moves soon.
He had UC for years, then total colectomy and then the j pouch system...
