I have the same issues as you. Along with prior suggestions, increase your water intake, avoid alcohol and sugars and processed foods. This helps keep my pouchitis under control. Reduce. stress too when you can
I am curious as to what surgery they performed for your swelling. I have chronic, painful fissures and they go dormant until pouchitis acts up. I also have narrowing of the anal canal due to this and a chronic stricture at my pouch outlet. I'm having pouch advancement surgery for these issues
