I've had my ileo. for some 7 years. Having this blew our chance of having a child until I recovered. I also suffered for four years before it too. So I am looking for some advice about trying to have an intimate relationship with my wife and have a child. ???

I'm going on 51 and she is starting her 40s, so we are getting a late start. That is the question if we can though

I had a colostomy and it was difficult to be intimate, but I made a sort-of cummerbund type of thing out of a pair of boxer briefs. The supply companies have similar products I later found out called wraps. They do just that. It is kind of a fun type of clothing that will cover the appliance. It was kind of fun in a way. It is like a big elastic wide belt of some sort. Quite comfortable. Jay
