Reply to "Can stress cause more liquid output?"

Yeah, so it could be a multitude of different things but if you're basically doing fine and not getting worse then you can probably wait until your return home.

It definitely could be stress. It could be just the different bacteria there. It could be the food. It could be pouchitis. Did you happen to bring any antibiotics with you? You could try them and see if that helps.

Regarding drinking water - if you're drinking only water and lots of it you might be having the opposite of rehydration. You might need to add an electrolyte replacement product. If you can't find any you could make your own with 1 tablespoon of salt and 8 level teaspoons of sugar in 1 liter of water. You can add lemon or other flavoring as well. Some recipes also use 'Lite Salt' for the potassium.
