I think I've posted about this subject before, but it's been a year or so since. Has anyone else experienced stickiness coming from their ostomy bags? It seems it's coming from the inside of the bag, and it gets all over my ostomy garments after emptying, even though I clean my bag end very well. I'm wondering, could it be adhesive breaking down or the ring? I use CeraRings from Hollister. This all started happening about maybe 2 years ago, so I'm wondering if Hollister changed the formula for those in that time. I use a ConvaTec bag. This stickiness has caused me a whole lot of heartache and issues. It's basically ruined my ostomy experience.

If I was a relative newbie with an ostomy, I have no doubt that this site would be very helpful to me. The members are quick to respond to questions and issues and they are filled with experience. When I joined, I already had a lifetime with an ostomy, so I just regard it as a place to meet and communicate with other folks similarly situated. Either way, it is a good site.
