I've had various ileostomies for 30 years. My most recent was in 2004. It is incontinent. I want to go back to work, currently disabled, but really want to work. How do employees work when they have such a high output? Mine is usually watery, so with meals I take Lomotil, Metamucil (thickens stool), and eat a banana. But with or without these things, I still have to empty many times a day. I know that there are ostomates working out there... How do you do it? I need the extra money and I've got to get out of this house. Please let me know how you go about it. Thank you. Jaidre.
