I'm curious to hear more!

Happy (belated) Ostomy Awareness Day, everyone! I hope that you've all enjoyed a day doing something you love.

Thank you for your feedback, Patrick. These filters really aren't going to be of use to anyone with liquid output, unfortunately. Do you remember th...

Hi Lindsay, not a silly question at all. It should go over the flange and tabs if it's comfortable. Some people cut the tabs off.

Welcome. Let yourself grieve, be upset, or whatever else you need to do, and then move forward from there. Nobody asked to be in this position, and it...

@glenn-giroir It can be normal for some, but I would suggest speaking with your doctor just to rule out any other concerns. If you had the mesh put in...

That's a great suggestion. Thanks for letting us know that Glenn's tip worked for you!

@rick I've known people who've had it done like that with success. I'm assuming you (or a home nurse) will be packing the wound on a regular basis and...

@dogtalkerer I respectfully ask that if you have a problem with any particular member to please private message me and/or report any posts that violat...

Thank you for finding the website, Karina. Has it helped your mother to be off coffee? I know that sometimes coffee can have rather immediate and unwa...

I haven't, but the only real "risk" is to your appliance. Does your wafer peel easily when you have a hot shower? If so, you may want to use a wafer e...

It's a strange concept to be eligible for a flu vaccine! We can get them anywhere and everwhere around here. Shot! I believe there's some co...

We use a BBQ for vegetables, but I've never had experience with a smoker. Our neighbor has one in the backyard, but I've never asked him about it. Are...

Hi Marie, I'm afraid that kind of help is beyond the scope of this forum. I do suggest speaking with a mental health professional to guide you through...
