Ostomy's Unexpected Celebration!

This topic is about an interesting and somewhat amusing experience someone had with their colostomy bag after a routine colonoscopy. The person, who has had a permanent colostomy for three years, noticed something unusual when they went to release gas from their bag. Here's what happened and some insights from others:

- After the colonoscopy, the person changed to a new appliance and added Adapt Lubricating Deodorant to their bag.
- For a few days, only gas was passing into the pouch, which they mentioned is typical for them after such a procedure.
- On Friday, while in a restroom stall, they opened the bag to release the gas. Instead of a quiet release, soap-like bubbles floated out and over the stall partitions, visible to others in the restroom.
- Although embarrassed, they found the situation amusing and joked about their ostomy, affectionately named "Mickey," celebrating its third anniversary.

Here are some insights from others:

1. No one else had experienced floating bubbles from a pouch before, making this a unique and entertaining story.
2. It is common for people to experience prolonged gas output for about a week after a colonoscopy.
3. The product used was Adapt Lubricating Deodorant by Hollister.
