This topic is about dealing with a painful burning sensation at the stoma site and issues with adhesive allergies. The person experiencing this discomfort describes it as feeling like a hot poker penetrating a few inches inside, especially when the bowel is emptying. They also have a high sensitivity to adhesives, which has been a challenge since their surgery. Here are some suggestions and insights that might help:

1. The burning sensation could be due to highly acidic output, similar to stomach acid. It's a good idea to consult with a stoma nurse or doctor to check the output, skin condition, and consider any necessary changes in medication or diet.

2. If you suspect an adhesive allergy, trying different pouching systems might help. Some brands to consider include:
- Coloplast Corp.
- ConvaTec
- Hollister Incorporated
- Marlen Manufacturing & Development Co.
- Nu-Hope Laboratories, Inc.
- Schena Ostomy Technologies, Inc.
- Torbot Group, Inc.
- Securi-T USA (though note that another member mentioned this line has been discontinued).

3. Before using new wafers or barrier rings, it's wise to patch-test them on intact skin away from the stoma, like on the opposite side of the abdomen, for 24 to 48 hours. This can help prevent allergic reactions around the stoma, which can damage the skin and affect how well the appliance sticks.
