Thoughts on Irrigation Systems and Personal Experiences

This topic is about someone who is considering starting ostomy irrigation and is looking for advice and personal experiences from others who have been through it. The person is feeling a bit unsure because of past disappointments with medical procedures, but their caretaker, who has been a lifesaver for them, is keen on trying this new approach. They are reaching out to the community to find out which irrigation systems others prefer.

Here are some pieces of advice and insights shared by others:

1. Many people suggest trusting the caretaker’s judgment, as she has a strong history of making decisions that have positively impacted the person’s health.
2. There is a lot of moral support from the community, with members expressing hope that the irrigation trial will be successful and asking to be kept updated on how things progress.
