I just joined today. I've had a colostomy since June 5th, 2019. I'm considering irrigation and wondering if there is anybody else on here that does that.

I do believe there are a few folks on here who do irrigation and I'm sure they will be along shortly to share their expertise with you. You can also do a search in the forum for past posts. Good luck!

Irrigation is a great tool to manage your ostomy. If you qualify, I suggest that you try it. Should you decide to, I would be glad to help you get started.

If you've had a colostomy or ileostomy, you may experience some common food-related issues.
The good news is that you can avoid them with some small changes in your diet.

Welcome aboard, John. I do not know anything about irrigation as I have an ileostomy. However, I wish you terrific luck if you are going back to the dating scene. It's ... difficult. Drop me a line if you'd like to discuss it further. Cheers!
