I have had an ileostomy for two years now, and I am starting to see little red and white lumps on my stoma. What is the cause? They are not bleeding. Thanks, Peter.

G-Day Daddy,

Have you talked to your stoma nurse or doctor?

Regards, IGGIE

Possibly granulomas. I would put a blob of Sudocrem on them if it were me. I know the health care system is different in Ireland compared to the UK's. If you use a home delivery service for your products, do they have a stoma nurse you can speak to or see?

Hubz had a regular checkup with the oncologist on Friday (his numbers are improving), and as they were asking how he's feeling since surgery, they became curious about how he's doing so well with his ostomy, both physically and mentally. He credited doing research online, trying different things, and especially the support from this group. They were asking because they see so many patients struggling to adjust.

We described this group as folks with every kind of ostomy, some for days while others for decades, but all willing to share what's worked for them with the caveat that every individual is different.

We described the most valuable element as feeling like you're not alone in this. That really piqued their interest, and they wrote down the link. It seems they had a few people in mind that might benefit from the community and thanked us for telling them about it.

You know, we can't remember exactly who we learned about this group from, but we're grateful for it every day! Thank you all! 🌻

No, not yet. I will do it.

Went to a stoma nurse; she said it was a small granuloma but nothing to worry about at the minute. She said to keep an eye on it and come back if it is annoying me, gets sore, or bleeds.
