Supportive Ostomy Belts for Running and Workouts

The topic is about finding a supportive ostomy belt that is suitable for running and other workouts. The person seeking advice is dealing with abdominal pain from an injury but still wants to stay active while healing. They are looking for recommendations on belts that won't worsen their condition.

Here are some helpful suggestions:

1. Seek personalized advice from a stoma or ostomy nurse. They can evaluate your specific needs, considering your anatomy, activity level, and injury, to recommend the best belt that won't increase your pain or risk a hernia.

2. Consider custom-made belts. Sash Medical in the UK offers made-to-measure ostomy belts. Many users have relied on them for over 15 years. You can search for "Sash Medical ostomy belts" online to find ordering details and international shipping options.

3. Look into widely-available supportive belts. Nu-Hope Ostomy Support Belts from Pacoima, California, USA, offer options like 3-inch and 4-inch widths. The 4-inch model includes a prolapse strap to gently flatten the stoma and reduce shirt bulge.

4. For a budget-friendly option, check out the "Ostomy Abdominal Belt Brace Waist Support – Prevent Parastomal Hernia" available on AliExpress. Users typically wear it for short, high-intensity activities like weight training for about 30 minutes. Be aware that it can be tight and may restrict pouch filling. A version with a cut-out hole for the pouch allows better flow for longer wear.

5. Match the garment type to your stoma height:
- For a high stoma, stretchable "tee vest" compression tops can provide adequate support.
- For a waist-level stoma, high-waisted boxer shorts can offer light support.
- For other stoma positions, belts or tubular garments might be more suitable.
- You can explore different styles at Comfizz support wear, which offers a variety of belts, boxers, vests, and tubes.
