@frh I didn’t have that problem, because they completely removed the anus and brought the small bowel down to the anal area and made the J pouch. I take a psyllium fiber similar to Metamucil twice a day to bulk up and keep from having constant diarrhea, although I still do. The orange flavor was very irritating and kept me raw all the time, so I switched to just the regular flavor. Perhaps it is the acidity of the food that is irritating you? But having food particles getting lodged there is horrible! I can’t imagine.
