Hi, Borislav.  Drinking 2 litres plain water can taste boring and is hard for most people to do in a normal day. When you slice a cucumber for your salad you can put 2 or 3 slices of cucumber in a glass of water and drink that slowly through the day. It tastes refreshing and cucumber will add flavour to plain water.

Do you make chicken soups or clear broth? That is a great way to get fluids into your system. Soups and broth will have added salt, which you need right now if you are always going to the bathroom and loosing so much body fluids. Put salt on your food. Not forever, just for now while you are having so many loose stools in one day. You must replace the fluids. That is why your doctor tells you to drink 2 litres WATER per day. Adding salt to food and soups will help to hold fluids in your system. Peanut butter is good for j pouch, and has lots of protein, and will help make stool thick so you don't have to go so much, and leaking or sore bum.

I notice your diet doesn't have very much protein. Can you try to have chicken for protein? How about a piece of chicken roasted with your potatoes?  Eating some protein with spaghetti or rice can help form more solid stool and slow down your pouch. It worked for me. so, try and something different for a few weeks and see if that changes things for you. If it does change things, then you'll know you were eating too many carbohydrates (spaghetti and potatoes). Try to have 3 things on your plate:  a protein, a starch (potato), and a soft vegetable (zucchino!)

Limited diet is for now, just to see how you do. When you are much better and pouch mature, you can put back some of your favourite food. And favourite drinks!
