Sounds like it could be pouchitis. I have had all those symptoms many times and that is what my doctor said it was. Pouchitis has many faces. Prayers that you will feel better soon. I got my pouch October of 2008. Following my surgery I suffered with pouchitis constantly. My regular Gastro Doctor in NC at the time sent me to his mentor, Dr. Bo Shen at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. Best thing I ever did! He gave me some dietary advice, the number one thing was no sugar. Refined sugar that is. He also told me I needed to exercise. I have been following his advice for over 10 years and I am doing better. I still get pouchitis at times but not constantly.

I hear nothing but great things about Dr. Bo Shen, he gives great advice on pouches
