The Ulcerative Colitis Vlog

*A real j-pouch dream before having to wake up and empty my j-pouch.

I had to visit a doctor because I was having problems with my j-pouch. It had an unusually high volume and I had no explanation for this. I scheduled an hour block with the doctor because he wanted me to have a bowel movement in front of him. He wanted to watch me to see if anything was wrong with me. I went in and didn’t question this strange form of treatment.

The doctor’s office was a large, white room, six times as large as any doctor’s office I’d ever been in. The toilet was in the middle of the room with no privacy. I sat down and immediately had to go to the bathroom. I sat on the toilet for a long time, the stool kept coming out.

The doctor eventually came in the room, talking to another person. He hadn’t been watching me at all. I was still on the toilet and had occasional movements. The doctor continued to talk to this other person. He was talking about a red-headed woman he was seeing once who had a problem with her j-pouch similar to me. He couldn’t remember what her problem was, though, so he didn’t know if he could help me.

Then I woke up and had to empty my j-pouch.
