Q from long time J-poucher!

Post by Steph »

Hi everyone!
Man, it's been a LONG time since I've posted on here! My j-pouch has been treating me real well and if any problems have come up, I've quickly been able to figure out the solution, until now. Which is why I'm here... I have noticed that in the past week, my j-pouch isn't emptying completely, especially at night. If it doesn't empty completely before bed, then that can almost guarantee a "leak" through the night- some nights bigger than others. Nothing in my diet, or my meds has changed. The only real difference is I'm under a LOT of stress currently, but I don't think that should affect my emptying. Could it? J-pouchers, do you ever have trouble completely emptying, especially at night? If so, what do you do that helps? I'd appreciate any tips, advice, whatnot.

Thanks ya'all!!! Hope life is treating each of you well! :)
