So I had a scare tonight… I had some Tillamook cheddar cheese this afternoon, the little prepackaged one, and tonight I thought I had blood in my bag from the dye! At least I'm 99% sure that's what it was. I changed my bag and had a bit of blood from my stitches, but the stuff from my stoma was orange on the paper towel when I was cleaning…. Whew! So glad it wasn't blood. Also, my last time eating that!
