Dear Everyone 😊🙏🏻☮️❤️👼😊🌈☀️🌹🤗👩🏻☀️
Hello! Hope your all, having a great start of your day! I have to say this place has been helpful in many ways and the people here, seem very real and mostly helpful in anyway! I usually don't bother anyone really and try to figure out different things on my own, but that is with common sense, but with experience definitely helps and I read stories and I have my own stories and it's been so much and it's nice to have friends here, who understand same kind of situation 😊
I think it's great when people help each other and who is helpful in different ways! I appreciate anything advice etc... Thank you all and very happy this site is here ! I hope you have a good day/night! I'm trying to figure out how to take care of me more then I used to as I think of others more then myself! I'm hoping your all having a great summer! Let's all help more and give a high 5 and all help and get together! 😊☮️❤️😊🌈☀️🌧

Cooking oil. 🤷♂️ I've come to the conclusion that, for me, the Adapt lubricant I use is more to keep the bag from sticking to itself than to get the output to slide down. Its deodorizing part isn't bad either, in my opinion.

If you’re expecting a child, it’s an exciting time for you and your family. And there’s no reason why having a stoma should negatively affect your pregnancy.

My ostomy nurse recommended Pam (or another brand) of cooking spray, both for the pouch and for the toilet. It works for me!

I mix a small bit of Adapt lubricant (1 tsp.) with hydrogen peroxide (1 tbsp.) - it works very well. Not sure about BC, but Alberta covers one bottle of Adapt every 2 months, and the peroxide from Walmart is inexpensive.
