I eat oatmeal on a regular basis without issues. Overnight oats, quick oats, and even steel cut (these are the hardest to digest unless cooked really ...

Speaking purely as an anecdote, when I add chia seed to my meals (they become very gelatinous when wet), it helps the output to slide out of the bag b...

Good tips! If you are strategic in this approach, you might be able to find a good balance between convenience and effectiveness. And if juice doe...

It's possible that it's less skin-friendly than a full hydrocolloid wafer. Anecdotally, my skin does look better under the center (hydrocolloid) porti...

I wonder if the idea was to use it to empty your pouch, like the way this product works. Still, I think it would be awkward.

That makes me even more disappointed, since I've always had a good experience with Coloplast Canada.

It's not that it trains your body to go, but you're flushing out what is already in queue to exit the body 🤣 It is a commitment, but the time betwe...

What country? If I recall correctly, we had another member recently mention that they had a terrible time with (I believe) Coloplast customer servic...

Hey, Rick. I've been using the Vertical Pro Stealthbelt for about a year (or more) now, and I like it so much that I ordered another two! Now, I do ...

Hi Shelby, the Hollister 841311 seems to be urostomy bag. Do you have a urostomy, or is that bag style being used for convenience because of liquid or...

@chelly I mean, wow. It really does seem like a mental health problem from what you describe, and I don't think an apartment is an appropriate setting...
