Looking to see how others manage, in particular the kit that they use.

Johnny -
I have used Coloplast for the last 10 years, upgrading as new products are available. The product codes may differ in the UK, but the description should help. I make a one-piece ahead of time as both the barrier and pouch are adhesive. I also use the Coloplast Night Bag, and it works well - I have some tips on keeping it fresh if you are interested.
Best,
Bryce

Nervous but excited about tomorrow. I have been reading some of the threads here and am brand new to the site. I am grateful to have had the ileostomy so my body had a chance to heal but am truly hoping all goes well with the operation and future.
I have a collapsed disk in my back and sleeping on it for the past 7 months because of the bag has caused me constant daily excruciating pain. I haven't slept through the night and have had so many accidents.
I am so glad I found this site. Gained so much information so I am much better prepared for what happens post operation and what worked for people diet and supplement (fiber) wise. Thank you for that.

Depends on the sport you are intending to do; a stoma guard is the best and safest option for contact sports and can be used with any make of bags. There's no sport that you can't do. You will see C.A.... The UK Colostomy Association has their own rugby team, just to give you an idea of the things we can do with a stoma.
