I am wondering if anyone else experiences this issue. When I change out my skin barrier which I do two times a week, for the first day I can detect an odor from the stoma and bag area. This only lasts a day at the most. I know that everything is well sealed so I know it isn't from leakage. Have any of you had this issue?? What did you do to correct it? Thanks!

Hey Freedancer, sorry no one got involved with your question. I'll try if you still have a problem.
Please let me know.

Thank you for your quick reply. I'll discuss irrigation with my doctor. I'm sure it would be down the road. My output is still very liquid. It's all so unpredictable at 6 weeks post-op. I have such a fear of constipation as I struggled with this forever. I used a fiber source to thicken the stool but it hasn't helped very much. I guess I will continue to be positive but it is a bit of a pain. This website is great and everyone is so informative. Cheryl
