My ileostomy is suddenly having a waste party...My output has doubled. It's not diarrhea or anything but I also went on a regimen of one Imodium a day per dr. Orders as I would often have full liquid output every morning . Anyway, for the past 24 hours my output has doubled. I just emptied my bag 10 mins ago and it's 1/3 full. After eatinf, I get painful cramps and then gas and the I am ok (albeit tons of output). I have not changed my diet. I do, however, have a sinus infection and cold and fever...can that effect output? To add to it I just started zithronax the infection which causes diarrhea....like I needed even more output. Just trying to figure out by my output has doubled, what to do, etc.
