I feel this may be a stupid question and I don't recall asking my ileostomy nurse if you need a special seal when taking a shower or bath. I've been taking the seal and pouch off when showering, but I miss just lying in the tub soaking. Do I need a special seal or pouch to do this? Like I said, it sounds like a stupid question, but I'm in the dark on this one... I'd ask a doctor here, but I'm new to this area, which I have moved to another state and still trying to find an ostomy doctor....
