My fellow jpouchers: has anyone tried pelvic floor physical therapy post takedown? I’m about three months post takedown and I’ve had two sessions. It’s supposed to help with the pelvic pressure (rectal and bladder) I started to experience shortly after takedown. Just wondering if anyone else out there has had success with it.
I’m also still having around 15 BM daily. That’s down from 15-20.
Thanks in advance!

Haven't tried it but not having issues in pelvic area. Why so many BMs???

Good question 3TC... I had a pouchoscopy about a month post takedown to see about the pelvic pressure-and there no signs is inflammation. So I don’t think I have pouch/cuffitis. I’m just hoping the frequency comes down.

Have you discussed pancreatic enzyme supplements? It’s one of the first things that they mentioned when I started to have problems but I had pouchitis.

I can’t remember the name of it but it does help break down the food and help with certain diarrhea causes.

Do you take anything for the frequency? You might want to ask on j-pouch.org. There are a lot more active j-pouchers there.

Referring to my above post about the drug who's name that I couldn't remember:

Questran is the drug that they give to j-pouchers who have high-output but no pouchitis. I think that it also helps with some butt burn issues.
