I'm in this group for a friend and I hope that's okay with everyone. He's my ex and I've been his support system since his surgery, so I've seen what he's been going through.
He's desperate. He's had a stoma bag now for about 6 months. He's had to set his alarm every 2 hours at night to empty it. He can't seem to find answers as to why the bag is filling up faster at night. He's tried everything his stoma nurse has suggested: eating different foods, eating dinner earlier, and it's not working. He's exhausted. He just wants answers.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

After I got my ostomy I found this site and got a lifetime membership. I have had so much help from the core members, things that even the wound care nurses didn't know. If you haven't been through this journey you don't know - only the people that have experienced this first hand truly understand what your going through. The support is enormously helpful getting through this. Afterwards when you start to learn how to deal with this new normal you can begin to help others. ...mtnman.
