Painful Burning at Stoma Site, Especially During Bowel Movements

Hello, I've recently started having an extremely painful burning sensation at my stoma site. It has been terrible today, especially when having a bowel movement. It feels like someone is sticking a hot poker into the stoma & it goes into me about 3-4 inches.
I'm also highly allergic to adhesives; this has been an ongoing problem since surgery.
Any help or guidance would be so greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hi, I noticed no one replied to you in a few hours and wanted to help.

There is a topic on this exact thing right now. I wonder if you can navigate to the "forum" icon on top? The topic and replies should be there.

From the last I saw about this burning, it was... it's acid... stomach acid... which happened to a few members.

The poster saw their doctor. That's what he said it was... why? How? I didn't catch that.

I hope you can use the forum above.

There is also "A.I. osty" there. That will help too.

Hi there. I have the same problem with adhesives. I am allergic to every single brand but one. Have you tried different brands? Coloplast Corp.

Correct warrior, we were discussing this last week, I think, about acidic output, but as usual, run any concerns by the professionals.

Good morning, Axl. HNY! 😁

Thanks for the backup reply. 👍

This is the perfect example of a change I'd like to see here when a new person asks a question.

As you said, just last week the same question was asked by another new person. I agree it was just last week.

Knowing we can offer the answers quicker to the original poster (OP) should ease their mind and comfort them with a fast, quick, accurate response via a link. MAO provides us with the utensils; we as members need to direct "newbies" to them.

And after they read thoroughly all the replies there, they could ask more questions outside of those answers.

The only issue might be that the OP is not a paid member. She won't be able to access that link to get that helpful information. Yes, I have worked on this issue with non-paid members asking if they can read these links.

No. They can see the titles.

But not able to open the link.

That sucks!! 🤭 So as we continue to evolve, making this place the best for everyone and every question asked, the question here begs: is Fran Rose a paid member? 🤔

When trying new products, try them on the abdomen but opposite the stoma to make sure you're not allergic. As we all know here, one allergic reaction can mess up the skin entirely around the stoma, and then we are pretty much in a big bind with skin healing and getting anything to stick. And I have noticed quite a bit of people have sensitivity to adhesives.

Your idea about placing adhesive appliances elsewhere on the body to test is spot-on fantastic.

You should win an award for that idea, kiddo.

Beth, Securi-T USA is no longer doing business — their ostomy products have been discontinued.

A traveler, I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. Looks like Google needs to take down the information, lol.
