Hi, ride pillion on the back of a fast motorbike, haven't had any probs there and also have an off road trike thing (doesn't go fast at all though) and that doesn't shake it off either!

For those of you still looking for love after your ostomy... don't give up! One day, when you least expect it, there will be a message in your inbox... always remember that when you're not looking, life has a brilliant way of surprising you with someone in your life you have so much in common with, and either you make a great new friend or you will find the person you were always looking for! I, for one, thank God I found this website... I was in a low place when I first started, and now I've never been happier! ~Traci~

As long as you aren't doing those activities in the buff where the edge of your appliance could snag ...

... you should definitely be fine.

One thing that my ostomy nurse mentioned when I queried her on more strenuous activities ... a hernia belt is a good precaution if and when you are straining the abdomen. She's seeing more and more hernias on ostomates.

Hi Woody

As Beatrice suggested about the support belt, you can ask for one of these from your ostomy association. Also a suggestion would be to ask about support boxers. These are all available on the SAS (Stoma Applicance Scheme).
