Hi all,
I have a cold and every time I catch one I notice that my pouch is pretty active. I tend to go more when feeling under the weather. Is it just me or does anyone else notice that too?
Thanks!
Joe

Hi joe, i can also tell before a cold or sore throat, i feel pain at the pouch area and my bowel movements increases significantly, normally 4-6 times a day, when I'm not feeling so well 10-12,
Once i notice this symptoms i start drinking alot of Gatorade to keep me hydrated.
Also my pouch is sending me a message kind of, even before i feel any cold symptoms, that's kinda interesting, so i can tell something is coming up.
also what i have noticed, when I'm under the weather I'm more weak then i use to before the pouch, sleeping more, just general weaknes, am i the only one?
Mark - I do notice I like to lay around and nap more when I have a cold or are sick.
I just saw this thread. I just got my first cold with a jpouch and it become for active and gassy. Also urgency went up. I’m recovering and tail end of illness but pouch and frequency is not where it was before yet. How long did it take for you guys to get back to where you were?
