why does pancaking happen . I thought I had cracked the problem using a lubricant gel and a Stoma belt with a hole for the bag , but this evening I've just had another one , I don't know why . I also am into my 6th month recovering with the perianal wounds , any advice , I'm sick of not being able to sit down at a table or drive a vehicle . I have had two different infections resulting in one admission to hospital I really am fed up .

I think You need to drink more fluids . This was why I got pancacking at the stoma. There is a fine line between your output being too liquid and too thick .
This is a remarkable community of 40,832 members.
You will get real advice from fellow ostomates who truly understand you - things you won't find in the books.
And it's not all about ostomy - there is friendship and relationships too.
Privacy is very important - your profile is not visible to the outside world.

Dear Everyone 😊🙏🏻☮️❤️👼😊🌈☀️🌹🤗👩🏻☀️
Hello! Hope your all, having a great start of your day! I have to say this place has been helpful in many ways and the people here, seem very real and mostly helpful in anyway! I usually don't bother anyone really and try to figure out different things on my own, but that is with common sense, but with experience definitely helps and I read stories and I have my own stories and it's been so much and it's nice to have friends here, who understand same kind of situation 😊
I think it's great when people help each other and who is helpful in different ways! I appreciate anything advice etc... Thank you all and very happy this site is here ! I hope you have a good day/night! I'm trying to figure out how to take care of me more then I used to as I think of others more then myself! I'm hoping your all having a great summer! Let's all help more and give a high 5 and all help and get together! 😊☮️❤️😊🌈☀️🌧

Im a heavy set guy and I had to use different stuff I finally came to a 1 peice also not sure but I can't use the colored bags it has to be clear or it sticks to my stoma and for some reason it makes my stuff create a plug where the gas blows out the sides or poop so I went back to the clear no problems there

Most contraceptives are equally effective for people with and without stomas.

I sometimes have that problem. I have an ileocolostomy, but usually it is moe liquid. I stsrted using the eakin rings and that helped with the skin irritation.

I use baby oil in my pouch as a lubricant and it can help reduce your probelm. You dont need to use a lot. Stay well. Penguins7
