This is for the outdoorsy ostomates - anyone have any good wilderness camping tips or kayak tips to share with me? I just got an ileostomy 6 months ago, and before surgery I went on kayak trips and went tenting deep in the woods for days at a time - no bathrooms, no electricity. I don't intend to let having a stoma curb any of these activities, but I want to be prepared and hear a little from an ostomate who's ALREADY done this stuff. So, any advice for me?
