SLUDGE GRUDGE aka shiz happens.....
On occasion, I am awakened at wee hours by an ever-expanding pouch that requires emptying. I hate an interrupted sleep but grudgingly shuffle to the bathroom. I have found this task to be less daunting (probably due to a post by someone on this website) with this hint: before retiring for the night, apply an ample amount of baby oil to the ole' pouch. This allows a fast flush out with little residue dregs, helping to reduce sludge grudge cleanup issues. jb
I myself use the baby oil as well to help all slip slide on out the door. Very easy to clean up afterwards as well. No ileostomy lubricants do as well as the baby oil.

“At 3am, someone’s awake somewhere in the world. I’m never alone here.”
Yeah wow, this site helped so much, I mean really who do you know with this infliction? No one, felt so alone and disgusted by myself every turn.
But it ended up being so damn strengthening, I got fucking moving, really only another choice.
That's

I was damaged by a procedure and ended waking with this, I understand all of you.. perhaps you had to have it, I get it.. doesn't matter either way.
Just wanted to share that
