Having an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to limit the things you enjoy. Many ostomates play sports or work demanding jobs, yet driving often becomes a source of stress because of one thing: the seat belt.
One of the concerns that ostomates face is whether they can get their appliance wet or not.
Ostomysecrets is a big name when it comes to clothing made for ostomates. Undergarments, swimwear and wraps are their specialty, and they have some of the most well-made products around.
I’m happy to present the first review not related to ostomy products on the VeganOstomy site! I hope that this review will appeal to everyone, including ostomates and people with IBD. So without further ado, let’s get started!
I was contacted by Kiss Me Organics to see if I’d be interested in reviewing their Organic Matcha.
Being a tea drinker, I was curious to see what their product was like, so I agreed.
Matcha, for those who aren’t familiar, is green tea powder.
We already know that green tea is good for us, and it provides an abundance of antioxidants, so it’s no wonder that matcha has become popular with those looking to improve their health.
The package claims that this product will provide “all day energy”, “increased focus”, “improve skin health” and other benefits.
Being a skeptic, I asked Kiss My Organics to give evidence which substantiated these claims, and they were kind enough to send me some information about it, which you can read in the links at the end of this review.
For this review, however, I’ll be only focusing on the quality of the product and not the claims made about it. You can do your own research about green tea and matcha if you like, and I think you’ll find quite a bit of evidence which supports green tea consumption.
Finding the right ostomy appliance is just as important as finding the right pair of shoes to wear.
Many ostomates feel more self-conscious about their body than the average person.
Liquid output, “ballooning” and odor – three problems that many ostomates are faced with on a daily basis.
Not long ago, I reviewed the Osto EZ-Vent product and had given it a very favorable review.
One problem that most, if not all, ostomates face is pouch ballooning.
Ballooning is caused when gas fills your ostomy pouch and has nowhere to go. The result can be a very inflated pouch that can end up causing a leak or even a full-on explosion!
When looking for an ostomy pouch deodorant, the product “Na’Scent” comes up quite often in ostomy-related forums.
