Hi Eric. This is one of my favorite videos of yours. I've shared with you that my two daughters love amusement parks, and we will be off and running...

Hi Archie. Best wishes on your surgery. Everyone's experience is different, but wanted to share that mine has gone very smoothly. I had a proctocol...

A friend told me that you shouldn't burp at the flange while lying flat in bed either.

I don't miss it. It's funny, because I thought I would. I do understand what you mean though. I had spent so much time in the bathroom over the pas...

@dlkfiretruck Yes. NO ring of fire! Just say no. 😄

@john68 Thanks, John. I had not even considered being sick. I can about imagine how fun that is. My stomach spasms so hard when I get sick. But, s...

@veganostomy Eric. Good points. I do believe that our intestines move when we cough - kind of a flinch. It's so much more noticeable for us with th...

@john68 Also, we know exactly what we're looking for, so we see it immediately. Most people aren't searching for a pouch when they look at us, so I b...

@Dawn Jungewaelter Hi Dawn. I've often thought that it is so weird that we can have bowel movements at any time. I laugh to myself when I am talking...
