Some members note their stoma is highly active most times, but the worst time is at the change of appliance or a quick bag - 2-piece - replacement. Such a difficult situation having an active stoma at change, gotta feel impossible. I'm curious about your stoma activity at change or showering bagless: Warrior's freak of Satin is well behaved at change and at bagless showers. The stoma gods are merciful to some. Sometimes. Thus the question begs: Is your stoma behaving or misbehaving? How long has this misbehaving gone on? - since inception? Or recently a change in diet, meds, health? As cause? Do you think after a few years, it calms down? Or will it always squirt, spit, flame throw? Forever? Go time-

Does Your Stoma Misbehave During Changes Or Showers?

Thanks for this Ben. Before I had my stoma I had random "trots" - diarrhoea, and was once in B&Q (Home Depot is the USA equivalent) and my belly decided to refurnish itself. As you know, B&Q / Home Depot stores are endless and the loo was on the opposite end. I have a dodgy heart, so I can't move fast, so I had to saunter across the entire length of the shop pooing as I went. I cleaned up the loo as best I could, but I called a staff member, told them and then left!

May God and the cleaning person have mercy on my soul!!

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!
