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

This site was a true lifeline when I first became a member back in 1997. The support I received during the time of a critical time in my life.was greatly needed. I met so many wonderful people that became like family. And fell in love with a wonderful woman from the UK. Visited here and later had her come to me here in the states.
