You need a gastroent: Gastroenterologist to evaluate you. Your surgeon who made the pouch might have a recommendation.

See GI/probiotics: This is hard to give advice for on the site. This will involve a careful discussion with your GI doctor and surgeon to determine best course of action. I would definitely go on probiotics if you haven't already. Good data that it helps with UC in pouch patients. You may need to go back on immune suppressants as well if a course of antibiotics does not help. Good luck!
