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?

Thank you so much, bigal1579. I think I will wait awhile on the cherries and sauerkraut. LOL. I have gotten some good advice. Thanks to all that have replied. I sure am happy that I stumbled onto this website.

A convex ostomy skin barrier can help prevent output leakage and skin issues. Unfortunately, some misconceptions about convexity may keep people with ostomies from using it.

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?
