Would you recommend an oral rehydration solution such as pedialyte over bottled water for a 27 y/o male with an ileal pouch (post ulcerative colitis)?

Yes: Or you could make your own. 1/2 teaspoon salt, 6 teaspoons sugar to 1 liter of tap water. Much less expensive than Pedialyte. Millions of children per year are treated successfully with Oral Rehydration Solution for diarrhea. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
