I have an ileostomy since 2017 (actually my second one as my reversal did not work out). I have not traveled since then and am now going to Mexico next month. The question I have is, will the Mexico climate affect my ileostomy? i.e. Will it be hard on the appliance, such as will I have to change more often? I am worried about the flange not sticking, etc. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
