Sorry for the previous joke; I did learn not to eat peanuts by the handful. I did get blockage, but it passed by drinking lots of water. Popcorn can do that too.

Hi,
Did you ever get an answer to this question?
There is info on how to get a free sample of NaScent on this site...that's how I found it and I love it.
I think it is in the classifieds.
Sorry for the late reply, I am not on here often.
But I am so glad to have found this site, wish I knew about it when I had my surgery.
MeetAnOstoMate is a remarkable community of 41,427 members.

When I found this web site, I didn't think its name had anything to do with actually meeting an ostomate but I later learned there were some folks who did meet and develop relationships. How good is that? That wasn't my intention. I definitely didn't want anyone to meet me. I felt broken and wasn't prepared to express those feelings. I thought it was a place where ostomates wrote about themselves, posed questions, shared thoughts, told jokes and, sometimes, just vented. I thought of it as a community of folks with similar interests and various degrees of experience. Mostly I found some of the most caring, selfless, wise and understanding people I ever imagined. I was so impressed with some of the writings; not because of their literary value but the way in which they addressed such a very complex environment. I read hundreds of exchanges and admired the way folks cared for each other. I became hopeful with my own situation and looked forward to the next day's offerings. Certainly some contributors stood out with their experience or particular skills in addressing some things but it seemed like a total effort with synergistic results. I felt blessed to have found this site. I still do.

Ok JJMonavie, I'm interested in this juice you talk about. I'm in Toronto. Where can I find some? Do they sell sampler kits?
Thanks!

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.

Hi, zwj. I must say, I don't try certain foods anymore after I got a blockage. But if you do try a little and chew, chew. However, I can't eat salads and many things. But I try to drink a lot and I do ensure and vitamins liquid because I found the pills in my bag or while watching the stoma when I change it. I sit without anything on to let my skin and everything get a break! I sit with a big bed pad thing and tuck it in so I can sit and not worry about it going all over me and everywhere! But I must say, it's a different life and I don't want to spend it alone if I don't have to. As I must say, people can be brutal and men can be rude and ignorant, and I know they're not all the same! Good luck with eating and stay safe as well.
Take care, Victoria.
