Tic Tac is the white kind. Mint put it in a bag.

Hi, I have an ileostomy and boy does it smell at times! But no different to anyone else as we are all human! Anyway, I have been using a capful of Listerine Mouthwash when it gets smelly and it has worked wonders for me!! Hope this may help you too? Don't let it stress you though as everyone else has said, it doesn't matter if it comes out your butt or your bag!!!!!!! Have a wonderfully day!!

The only people that tell me off for the stink is my kids but you know kids! And for me if I eat a lot of chocolate it actually smells and looks like melted chocolate!! But that could just be me! Personally, I don't give a shit (pun intended!) if it smells, it is a part of life for everyone not just us ostomates (I have ileostomy). And I agree with a lot of people on here, I have family members that are intact that smell worse than me, that includes my daughter that complains about mine!

looking forward

Amen
