I have had a permanent ileo for 5 years, and I kept having problems with fungal infections under my wafer. After a TON of research I found out that recurrent yeast infections can be caused by...
My cat does that but I just put my hand over my stoma while she walks and then once she's settled down, I move my hand....
I've never tried this but I feel like waxed paper might work....
I was in a similar situation with UC/Crohn's colitis, and remicade and humira both worked for me for a short time, less than a year.i now regret trying them as I wonder if they will cause cancer or...
Ummmm....this is a no brainer. I felt the same way you do before my surgery, with the same pred dependency. I opted for the end ileo and had my rectum sewn shut. I have not regretted it for ONE DAY...
UC wife, yes, I definitely use the back panel as well. It still has elastic at the top. You just need to do a little more cutting on the sides. :)...
I make my own, based off the ostomy secrets idea. I don't like the fit of the ostomy secrets ones, plus they aren't as cute as I'd like, plus I can't afford them. I am a fairly experienced sewer, but...

Hi guys, I'm just wondering how common it is to have pain with sex after having ostomy surgery. Please reply whether it has happened for you or not...if it has, does it eventually go away? Thanks,...
I eat lettuce, spinach, and tomatoes with no problem....
You can even get your records sent to the GI who is far away so you don't have to travel there until they really know what's up. I know traveling with crazy diarrhea is horrendous. I agree with...
It could definitely be yeast if its warm and moist. It sounds like you are doing the best you can. I think the convex should definitely help...I've never heard of your stomach pushing it away....
Hi and I am so sorry you're living like this! I have had issues like this, both from a skin allergy and from a severe fungal infection. You need to figure out what is causing the problem before you...
I also think they're great. I've used the other brands and really don't like them. I think Hollister is BY FAR the easiest to empty, but I guess that just shows why they say "to each his own." We all...
