Hello and welcome. I'd like to be helpful, but I am not clear on what your situation is. Do you have two ostomies? Two stomas? Can you ask more specific questions about what kind of help you are looking for?

For those of you still looking for love after your ostomy... don't give up! One day, when you least expect it, there will be a message in your inbox... always remember that when you're not looking, life has a brilliant way of surprising you with someone in your life you have so much in common with, and either you make a great new friend or you will find the person you were always looking for! I, for one, thank God I found this website... I was in a low place when I first started, and now I've never been happier! ~Traci~

This is a first. She claims "she was told" she had a colostomy with an ileostomy. Huh? 😳
Is that even possible? And if so, why? 🤷♂️.. and who told her this? That she has two? 🫤..
....
..and the plot thickens as well as the output 😆

G-Day and welcome.
Can you talk with your stoma nurse and get her to explain to you what you really have and then get back to us?
