Not sure if this is pouchitis or not

So I’ve had my pouch for a few years now and it’s been a so so ride. Much better than when I had ulcerative colitis but definitely has its ups and downs as most of you know. About 5 days ago I started to get the urge to go bathroom a lot , was watery and very yellow also burned a lot ,I  felt warm overall and when I run to the bathroom not much came out . I assumed pouchitis and called my g.i doctor. Sadly he passed away and they gave me a new one , this doctor prescribed me flagyl and cipro , so I’ve been taking both together and have not noticed a difference at all and it’s been 5 days maybe 6 now it’s all a blur. Constantly getting the urge to go bathroom , going a bit then stopping , pressure in lower back , I’m not really sure what to do , I’ve never had this for this long . My old bouts of pouchitis which I’m starting to wonder if it even was pouchitis would be gone in 2 days of treatment with cipro , any advice ? I ate some hasbrowns last night and let me tell you I was running to the bathroom all night :/ . I’ve never really had to restrict my diet much just be wary of spicey foods and sauces .its the weekend and with Covid they are just gonna send me to the hospital which they never know how to handle me and my surgery . Any advice ? Foods to eat ? I’m also taking a probiotic with the antibiotics. Thanks fellow pouchers.
