Has anyone tried Fixodent for ostomy leaks?

This topic is about finding ways to prevent leaks in an ostomy pouching system. The person sharing their experience has been dealing with leaks on one side of their pouch and is curious about using Fixodent, a false-teeth adhesive, as a potential solution. They are seeking advice from others who might have tried this method. Here are some insights and suggestions shared by others:

1. The person has already tried using Orabase but is interested in hearing about experiences with Fixodent before trying it themselves.

2. Combining Orabase with Stomahesive Powder can help clear up minor skin irritation. While this combination isn't specifically for stopping leaks, it does offer skin protection.

3. One user found that using barrier strips (brand not specified) effectively stopped frequent leaks with their urostomy, allowing them to enjoy multiple days of wear without unexpected laundry needs.

4. There is a wide range of products available, including concave and convex wafers and specialty seals. Consulting with a supplier or ostomy nurse can help find the right products to prevent leaks.

5. If the leak is coming from the seam of the bag rather than the wafer, it might be helpful to stop using external heat to "set" the seal. One user noticed that their Hollister pouches stopped leaking after they stopped warming them.
