Hi All,

Does anyone else have a finnicky pouch when they get colds? Whenever I get a cold, my pouch starts behaving erratically. And that is WITHOUT taking cold meds (if i take cold meds, it is even worse). Just wondering if anyone else has the same thing happen to their pouch.

Have a great day!

peace,
mark

Sure. My question would be, why wouldn't it? When you have a cold your mucus levels rise, and not just in your nose. Plus, depending on the virus, multiple systems can be affected.

It happens to me, too. When I get a cold my pouch gets the flu. Or something like that.

My husband always has it rough when he gets a cold or the flu. He gets dehydrated FAST. So he has to drink alot.
