My bathroom drainage system is just bad. Sometimes it smells like the sewer out of nowhere. You can smell someone's normal poop after they go. It gets worse with ileostomy. Siblings and parents keep complaining, and I am already wiping the toilet with wet tissue after every emptying and spraying a crap ton of room spray, and they keep complaining. I feel like this is not a me problem; it's the bathroom problem, but I keep getting embarrassed and shamed. Any tips? 🫠
