This topic is about whether it's safe or practical for someone with an ileostomy to use a tanning booth or tanning bed. The person asking the question is curious if others with an ileostomy or any type of ostomy have had success with tanning in this way, especially since traditional sunbathing is becoming more challenging as they get older.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. Many people with an ileostomy have found that using a tanning bed or a stand-up tanning booth is not problematic. They mention that lying on the bed is physically possible without issues.

2. It's important to be cautious about the amount of time spent in a tanning bed or booth. Limiting exposure is advised due to the increased risk of skin cancer associated with the radiation from artificial tanning.
