I was wondering if a person with an ileostomy can use the toning tables to tone muscles; legs back stomach ect? Would it be harmful to stoma?

Thanks

Abdominal exercise won't harm your stoma.  It's the opposite they are good for us.  Like any exercise start of slowly.  Our stomach muscles are very weak after the surgery.    Abdominal exercise's  strenghthen our stomach muscles and may even prevent us from getting a hernia
