Does anyone have any advice on how to eliminate this from occurring? It's been happening more frequently. I have an ileostomy as of Aug 2023.
Thank you

Hi from up the road Ormond Beach. I have a colostomy and I use barrier rings not eakins but that happens to me if I cut my wafer hole too large.

I use them... but have pre cut wafers. They will expand more once liquid starts coming out of tour stoma. The extra breaks down by the next day.If your cutting your own Ostoberry is right.It's suppost to fill in around your stoma to prevent leaks. IF this isn't the case for you then call Convatec they can help you figure out what's going on and send you free samples if needed.If you need the number : 1-800-422-8811
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU 😊

I use a moldable ring so I don't have to cut my wafer hole precisely to fit my stoma. Seal the stoma with the ring. Cut a large wafer hole. Great time saver, comfortable too.

Liquid, they swell with liquid/moisture contact. It’s why they seal so well and fill in the little gaps. You could always adjust how you fit it or even trim it if it really bothers you.
