Does anyone have problems with the adhesive holding ostomy appliance secure when outside "playing" in the garden, especially on a warm day? Mine tends to spring a leak when I do much bending. Don't know if it's the location of the ostomy (ileostomy) which is barely below the waistline or the adhesive not being strong enough to hold the stress of exercise. Spring is finally getting here and I love being outside playing in the dirt! Thanks for any and all suggestions.
