Another year is has passed, and what a year it’s been!
It still amazes me that so much can get done in so little time, and 2015 was no exception! Much of the hard work that went into VeganOstomy in 2014 has started to pay off, and this year has a lot to show for the efforts.
When I had tested the one-piece SenSura Mio appliance, I was a bit disappointed but found enough strong points to recommend it to most ostomates. The two-piece system has been something that I’ve been looking forward to trying, and here’s my review!
Disclosure: This review is based on samples I received through the Coloplast customer service dept, as well as samples received during a patient feedback program. No other compensation was provided, and both my experience and opinions are completely my own.
If you’re an ileostomate who takes medication or dietary supplements this information will be important.
This post has been on my mind for a while, but as I’ve just sold a phone that’s been with me through some of the most difficult times in my life, I’m reminded about just how fortunate we are to have access to these portable devices when we are sick.
Combating ostomy odor is a daily struggle for many people who have a stoma, and the problem with stool getting stuck on the top of an ostomy bag is something that many ostomates also find challenging.
Lubricating products can help, and I got my hands on a bottle of Gel Plus Lubricating Deodorant by Montreal Ostomy!
It’s World Vegan Day 2015, and there’s no better time to go vegan than now! With thousands of books, websites, personal blogs and YouTube channels dedicated to this lifestyle, you’ll feel right at home! But things weren’t always this easy, and the lack of a mature internet made living as a vegan a complicated affair!
These are some of the things I wish I knew before going vegan. Oh, and Happy World Vegan Day! =)
It seems that Coloplast has been busy making changes to products based on feedback from their users. This is a great thing to see, and I’m happy to be giving you this product overview on the newly designed SenSura Mio pouches for ileostomates.
You are lucky to be a lady! Smart, strong, beautiful, and you’ve got a heck of a lot of clothing options!
This four part guide will give you ideas on how to dress with an ostomy. It will also inspire you!
One skill that every ostomate has to learn is how to empty a bag. While it might seem pretty straightforward, I’ve come to learn of a few techniques to get the job done, I’d like to share those with you in this post.
