Backpacking with an Ostomy: Tips for Using a Waist Belt

Topic Explanation:
The topic is about backpacking with an ostomy, specifically using a big pack with a waist belt while hiking and pioneer camping. The original poster is concerned about the waist belt interfering with their ostomy and is seeking advice and experiences from others who have backpacked with an ostomy.

Advice and Insights:
- StomGuard belt can protect the stoma area and allow for comfortable wearing of a waist strap from a backpack.
- Adjusting shoulder straps to ensure the belt is comfortable can help prevent issues with the pack.
- Wearing a hernia support belt and a bag support wrap has been effective for someone who hikes and travels with a backpack as a carry-on.
- Personal experiences and reassurance from individuals who have backpacked with an ostomy without any issues.
