Last few days I've had to change the dressing on fistula, driving me nuts! I have an ileostomy on the right side and this on the left...usually have no problems with the fistula...the odd shower/changing and little to worry about, but came across daily oozing...didn't change diet! It just stinks! Thank God no one is around and not able to work...home from the hospital last August. No real problems, eat as usual, chew thoroughly, it takes me 4x longer than most to eat a meal. Other than that, just snack healthy! Any output! - LOL
