Common cold and ileostomy

I recently came down with a cold with the usual symptoms; soar throat, nose dripping, just feeling generally sick.

I've noticed that I have much higher and more liquid output. I'm eating less solid foods and drinking a lot of fluids, so I guess it makes sense. Just wanted to ask about your experiences to ease my mind a bit.

I have a colostomy.....when I caught a cold...my colostomy output was almost entirely liquid. I would think that with an ileostomy it would be even more prone to high output.

I had to add in additional salt and take potassium during that time period.. I also had to drink Gatorade.

Hope you feel better soon!
