I have had a temporary ostomy since July/23...having problems with a smelly pouch as soon as a day after putting on a fresh pouch...the smell permeates into my clothing...I ensure the flange is clicked all the way around...I have never had a breach so far...I have tried the lubricating deodorant... but then my clothes smell like it...presently just using baby oil...at times have trouble with pancaking if I don't drink enough water...scheduled for an end stoma in July of this year...use a two piece system...presently not using a filtered pouch...did try the filtered pouch but it was getting clogged...I am so frustrated...does anyone have suggestions?
