There should be studies made of what you can use safely in case of a bag clean if you're ever stuck without water... hmm.
Sometimes we are stuck without much option.
The integrity of the bag is used to acid, like stomach acid.
But... a story about Pepsi or Coca Cola just gives me pause if you're tempted to use soda to clean the bag left with no options.
Coke was used to degrease engines. Strong stuff, huh? 🤔

Hi Deb,
As you can see, the outpouring of love and support from this website will help you to find the strength to lift yourself up and out of your current emotional situation. I am lucky to have my husband by my side through all of this, so I will not even pretend to know how you feel and what you're going through alone. I do know that I have great friends on this site and in my life that have been by my side, and hopefully you have many by your side as well. You do have a lot of new friends here. Please feel free to talk through anything that is on your mind. We all go through a confidence deficit when we go through an ostomy surgery. Our body has been marred and your mind feels that way sometimes too. It is tough to move on, but you will. You will be stronger once you realize that you are still the beautiful woman you were prior to your surgery. Hopefully, you can reach out to a local support group and find some additional friends in your same situation. It always helps to have a sounding board wherever you find it!

Nah... but a breath test on your stoma is going to cause concern! 😉🤦♂️😋

In addition to your pouching system, you may require the use of an ostomy accessory to enhance the performance of your system.

You drank Champagne? No wonder your pouch almost burst! I loved beer & Asti Spumonte. I gave it up! All that liquid should thin out your output. Drinking 8 glasses a day is recommended.
