I'm having a problem when I swallow liquids

I'm 2.5 weeks postop and have no problem with eating my soft foods. But for some reason everything I drink, including water, I can feel it go through my pouch straight to my intestines, which then causes a slight cramping in my pouch and intestines for a few seconds. It doesn't really hurt, but it is uncomfortable and aggravating and makes me NOT want to drink my liquids. I've only been getting in 5 glasses a day, but this problem is hindering from getting in more. I'm just wondering if any other postops had this problem and if so, what causes it, and is it temporary or does it last forever?
