The dialysis procedure is 3+hours,  not counting getting getting ready, getting there and back.   I try to time everything from his eating on those days,  to checking and really checking EVERYTHING,  to avoid problems.   Does anyone have any tips or tricks they'd like to share?   Any insight would be great on how others manage this.   On his dialysis days, the stress of thinking the worse could happen is driving us both insane 😨

Hey Rolf,

It sounds like too much time would pass before his ostomy bag fills, correct?

A few options to consider:

- There are OTC and medications that will slow the bowel down temporarily. This needs to be taken under a doctor's advice, but it may offer some short-term relief during the dialysis. 

- There are high-volume ostomy bags that should be able to hold a considerable amount of output, which can give this person time for the dialysis without needing to worry about the bag filling. The nice thing about these high-volume bags is that on a two-piece appliance you can simply snap the larger bag on and then replace it with a more standard size bag when they are done. 

I've written about one of these such bags made by Coloplast, but most brands will have their own version: https://www.veganostomy.ca/sensura-mio-high-output/
