I'm not sure if I have pouchitis and I'd appreciate any input in addition to my doctor's. I've had a j-pouch for three years and have never had pouchitis.

A few days ago I began to have some increased urgency and watery BMs but for the most part was fine, even going to a wedding with no problems. Yesterday I got worse, having about 15 very watery BMs over the course of the day. I am not in any pain, have no fever, and have less gas than usual. I went on a liquid diet and saw no improvement. Last night I had my first leakage ever.

The fact that my symptoms have gotten worse and that I had leakage makes me think it's pouchitis.
