does anyone have any thoughts on an itchy sore stoma. It’s driving me mad because I can’t get at it when my bag is on. The peristomal skin is not sore or irritated just the base of the stoma where it meets the skin.

For those of you still looking for love after your ostomy... don't give up! One day, when you least expect it, there will be a message in your inbox... always remember that when you're not looking, life has a brilliant way of surprising you with someone in your life you have so much in common with, and either you make a great new friend or you will find the person you were always looking for! I, for one, thank God I found this website... I was in a low place when I first started, and now I've never been happier! ~Traci~
looking forward
