can you 'damage' the pouch by what you eat?

A dietitian friend (same one from the other thread, but thought I'd create a new topic if anyone else had this question) told me that I can damage my pouch by eating certain things such as coffee, soda etc. She said that coffee destroys the lining of the intestine. What are everyone's thoughts on this?

While there are certainly foods that give us problems, I had always thought that these were to be avoided just for the sake of feeling well and convenience. But can what we eat also affect the long term health and composition of the pouch? I know there is no conclusive study on this but is there anything suggestive of this notion?
