This topic is about someone experiencing increased mucus discharge from their ileostomy stoma and seeking advice from others who might have had similar experiences. Here are some insights and tips shared by others:

1. The amount and frequency of mucus discharge can vary greatly. Some days there might be none, while other days there could be a lot.

2. When there is a lot of mucus, it can make changing the pouch more challenging because the mucus can coat the skin and weaken the adhesive seal.

3. To help keep the baseplate secure when dealing with heavy mucus, some people find that using extra adhesive, like Probond medical adhesive, is effective.

4. The mucus can come in different colors and consistencies, such as clear, white, yellow, cream, or brown. If the mucus is mixed with blood, it is important to monitor this closely as it could be a warning sign.

5. Some management strategies include:
- Working quickly during appliance changes to minimize issues.
- Using additional protection, like plugs or incontinence pads, if there is also rectal discharge.
- One person tried irrigation, which helped reduce odor but did not stop mucus production.
