I have recently discovered a wonderful spray for under the barrier. Before placing the barrier on the skin, spray on Cavilon Barrier Spray. I had to buy it at the online drug store. No redness, no itching, and no need for any tape. I will be happy to give you any details I can.
looking forward

Hi looking,
Yes, it seems many recommend Cavilon! I just ordered a box of 30 sheets, as the spray isn't available for next day shipping. But I will get some spray as well!
Thanks for the info.
Regards,
Bob

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.

Ostomy surgery is stressful both for the patient and the caregiver, and creates a major life change for both people in a relationship.

Could you give me more information about the ostomy spray? I've been to the dermatologist who gave me cordran tape (tape with cortisone). It worked for a couple of weeks, but then the skin around my stoma became inflamed and very painful. I was having an adverse reaction to the cortisone.
Any suggestion you can give me is greatly appreciated!!

Hi Lavern,
Here you go. Didn't check to see if it's the lowest priced... so shop around. This is the spray... it also comes in applicator wipes of different sizes.
