Many of you out there having mishaps through the night?? Sure spoils your waking up. It doesn't encourage me to look for a relationship with this happening.

My biggest problems are at night as well. My stoma is right on my waistline, and the waistband of whatever I'm wearing to sleep seems to always end up in the way of the stoma. This leads to frequent pancaking. Probably once or twice a week I wake to a wafer & flange that have been pried open by poo! Fortunately its usually not that messy. Just smelly. I've tried lubricating the pouch by the stoma without much success, but I'll figure out something eventually. Cheers |

it seems that night time leaks are the nature of the beast. However i find that flange extenders help especialy when it's full of air it seems to give some extra security, i also find that if i don't eat late at night i have almost cut out night time leaks but i always wake up through the night. good luck in your quest x |

HI Frenchie, I think God has put us in this situation for a purpose. I plan to have some words with Him down the road; but, in the meantime, I am absolutely certain He has given us ostomates like you and many others to enjoy His greatest gift: a few hours of consciousness. Enjoy the ride, forget the bumps. Prime |
