Help! Constant Panic with Products

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person experiencing constant panic while using ostomy products.

Advice and Insights:
- Consider using a support belt and taping the edges of the wafer to prevent pancaking.
- Try using a supplemental latex adhesive like Torbot Bonding Cement to avoid pancaking.
- Consider irrigation as a solution to resolve the problem of pancaking.
- Use an eye dropper of oil or ostomy pouch lubricant to prevent pancaking.
- Coating the top of the bag with baby oil can help with pancaking, and consuming certain foods like peanut butter, bananas, and starches may contribute to pancaking.
- Ensure a small amount of air in the bag to eliminate the vacuum effect, which can help with pancaking.
- Stoma guard can help with flow into the pouch.
- Irrigation involves using warm water to flush out the colon, which can eliminate the need for a colostomy bag and prevent pancaking.
- Irrigation can result in no output for a period of time, making life more manageable without the hassle of dealing with output throughout the day.
- Consider using a support belt and Torbot Bonding Cement to address pancaking issues.
