If you have a regular pharmacy that you use for meds, that'd be where I'd want her to send it.

Yes! If anyone has worries over eating dry or roasted nuts, soaking them (a few hours to overnight) will make them much easier to chew and pass throug...

Hmm, that's a little odd. Are these very ripe bananas? Under ripe? As an experiment, have no bananas for a day(or two, or more) and then have the...

On occasion, I've used powdered baby cereal, which is very easy to digest. If I were having trouble digesting, or need to be on a special diet for wha...

Cheerios are very easy to digest, so this should be a very safe food. The only cereal to be cautious of when trying it for the first time are the wh...

Me! While not competitive, my weekend rides are generally a minimum 60km, but usually 80-100km. While in no way scientific or anything, this is w...

To clarify, the photo of that bathroom is the auto-cleaning, very modern toilet. I don't think I'd want to pull out my phone to take a photo in the ot...

@tigerlily Yeah, with a colostomy, I can understand how that must be frustrating and distressing. I hope that the GI specialist can shed some light ...

Wow, @davidinthailand, that's not how anyone should be treated when making an inquiry. I do have info on stoma collars, and it's honestly worth a sh...

That sounds frustrating! It is possible that this pancaking will be temporary as your body adjusts to the new meds, so I'm crossing my fingers on that...

@davidinthailand In North America, these are often called "bidet toilet attachments" and people who use them swear by it! Yes, they are very inexpe...

Welcome, David! That's a long time to be suffering, so I trust and hope that your ostomy has given back some positivity to your life!

You may be right, @liz. Even their website says "We don’t have any products to show here right now." when you try to order anything. They do still l...

I haven't had a failure of the outlet on a non-defective bag that I can recall. This includes amusement park rides, very long bike rides, and very ful...

@chelly Yeah, no matter how good their quality control can be, sometimes stuff like that can get through. I had one incident many years ago where t...
