One of the difficult situations for me was understanding pancaking. Good to know I'm not alone with this situation. I looked it up and found a medical site that gave me info on it and info on how to deal with it in the best way.

I'm glad you found a website that was helpful to you. You can share the website here if you think it would be of help to others. Pancaking is a real problem for some people. Only on rare occasions is it a problem for me, usually resulting in a leak when it happens. But that has been like twice in the last year. I have an ileostomy, so it's less of a problem for me than it is for those with a colostomy.

I’d like to write a nice review
that might express something quite new.
Then I read previous points of view,
which said the things I wanted to.
I would endorse the things I’ve read
about what other folks have said,
for these are the benefits and things
that joining a site like this can bring.
When I was an initiate, (novice)
it seemed to be appropriate
to express myself in rhyme
as this is how I spend my time.
When contemplating what to write
with contributing to this site,
it seemed to me, my ostomy
could be expressed in poetry.
Thus, when I had something to say,
a rhyme, for me seemed the best way,
for rhymes can often capture stuff
that prose don’t capture quite enough.
I do appreciate the way,
this site lets people have their say
in whatever mode they will
about the things that make them ill.
There are not many forums for
discussing stuff most folks abhor.
So, this site fulfils a small niche,
where angst and problems can unleash.
Where raw emotions can decant,
so, folks feel free to have a rant,
and we can all associate
is something I appreciate.
