4 months past surgery - a few problems.

Hi everyone

It's about 4 months since i had my takedown and things have been a bit tough. The first 2 months or so, i struggled with lots of BM's and a serious buttburn. Was checked at the hospital and everything was looking fine. Then when i got to the 2 month mark i was checked again, and this time there were signs of pouchitis so i got antibiotics and everything was fine for the next 5 weeks. 
5 days or so after i stopped on the antibiotics, i started feeling the symptoms again, like butt burn, more BM's etc. (when i was on antibiotics and everything was fine, i only had about 3-5 BM's a day)
So i got back on the antibiotics and got better again, this time though i was feeling sickness because of the pills, this stopped when i went of the antibiotics 4 days ago. 

So.. Now i feel symptoms of pouchitis again. My BM's/farts starts to smell, a slight butt burn has begun and very little watery leakages at night. 

I have an apointment with the hospital tomorrow so I'm looking foward to what we'll do this time. 

I just wanted to ask, if anyone else have had problems with numerous episodes of pouchitis early on?

I might add that i've not been following any diets so far. But i am concidering starting with the low fodmap diet.
