Five years ago, due to uterine cancer, I had an illeoscopy & uroscopy.  The doctors chose to place the stomps together in one pouch. Within the first year I was hit with E. coli & subsequently have carried ESBL bacteria. I’m wondering if there are others with this same ostomies setup & how they are doing.

Hi Wdillpic. So sorry you got no replies. Maybe it was because we're just not familiar enough with the prospect of two stomas in one pouch. I have no medical education or training but can only imagine the difficulties that might present. I hope you can get some help from knowledgeable people. Please keep us posted.

Respectfully, wishing you the best,

Mike
