I constantly wake up with really bad leakage from the stoma bag/base. I've tried different kinds of bases, which didn't take care of the problem. Then I tried using Elastic Barrier Strips, and I got an extreme rash at the outline around the stoma.
I also realized that a maxi bag gets extremely full in a short amount of time.
I try to eat early and lightly in the evening so it won't happen, but it also hasn't taken care of the problem.
I'm so frustrated.
Anyone have an idea what I can do/use?
