I have been uncomfortable wearing slacks - forget about my favorite jeans - since my colostomy was installed. I now pretty much wear dresses all the time. My urostomy is below my waistline and my colostomy is above it. If I wear slacks, the output from the colostomy gets all squished and flat and horrid and difficult to clean. Other than wearing pants up around my armpits, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

If you've had a colostomy or ileostomy, you may experience some common food-related issues.
The good news is that you can avoid them with some small changes in your diet.
