A couple of people are losing insurance, does anyone else find stoma seals make wafers last? Are there any other suggestions for them?

Hi, what are eakin rings? What is the manufacturer name? I live in Dubai. Pl give me more details about the product, so that I can see if I can find them here.
Have you also tried to take a shower with the flange and bag on (and without any cover over them to prevent from getting wet). Does eakin rings help in this case?

Hi,
Not blowing my own trumpet or anything, but I was at the healthiest I had ever been prior to getting UC symptoms. I was eating very healthy and exercising 6/7 days. I'd love to know if any lifestyle factors affect UC, but I suppose I'll have to wait until they figure out what causes it.
I've been trying to occupy myself by being in contact with friends often, but some days I am really not in the mood and find it hard to drag my mind away from what ends up being a mountain of thoughts. I suppose it's all part of the learning process and I'm sure it'll happen less with time. This website has been great so far. It's great to be able to write this sort of stuff down and chat with people that understand what's going on. For that, I thank everyone on this website.
Thanks,
Hamish.

Hi!! I am new in Dubai, and need to buy stomacare products. I am used to Convatec, but am willing to change if necessary. Where are these things sold? Please help!

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.

If you Google "Eaken Seals," there's even a video showing how they're used. I feel way more comfortable using them right up against the stoma.
