Thank you sharing your experiences, Andrew. The ostomy accessory market, unfortunately, doesn't cover everyone's needs (no pun intended!). But I've ...

It's been really nice these past few days! Low to mid 20s and sunny! Stay a little while longer, summer! 😊

Hi Darrell, I'm sorry that you're struggling. It looks like your local ostomy chapter (Ostomy Association of the Houston Area) very recently disban...

Another thing to mention about Kate Farms products is that they are also vegan, and most of their products can also be used with tube feeding. So, the...

The only thing I've had that would be close to Boost would be either plant-based protein powders or plant-based meal replacements (like from the brand...

Haha! Yes, that would be great! Even though there's a short wait, it really is best that they give your body more time to repair before having anot...

We had quite the rainstorm last night! Massive lightning bolts for about a half-hour, and it really came down! Our dog was let out so she can do her b...

It happens to me, but I'm sure others might have mentioned that, too.

Hi Asma. Generally speaking, retracted stomas tend to benefit from the use of convex appliances. They push around the stoma, and this causes the sto...

@chelly Is it sinking before output comes? Like with peristalsis? My stoma (at least, it used to) retract when there was a blockage happening, or wh...

Thanks for Sharing, CB. Yes, that was also my experience with the Mio pre-filters. It would be nice if the Mio bags came in a filterless option, si...

Rain today, off and on. Temps are below 10c in the morning, then get up to around 20c by the afternoon, but only for a few hours. Apparently, Briti...

There are countries that have such good coverage that I often hear of people being able to get far, far more than they need. It's a different extreme!...

We've been having much cooler nights, with warm days. I'm not looking forward to layering up again! 🤣

@chelly This has been such a long chain of events for you, and it's really not fair that you have to go through any of that! I do hope that your tw...
