Well - I've officially gone where I never thought I would! After having major leakage issues (my ileostomy is new as of 10/11) and running out of supplies, I had to resort to washing out the last pouch I had. After several times, the seal at the end (to empty the pouch) separated... I pulled out a roll of duct tape. It is working so far - hoping it will hold on until my Amazon order arrives (hopefully tomorrow). If not, I'm hopeful my home health agency or surgeon's office will help me out.
