I think they all emit some sounds. It is just something to get used to. As far as the rectum problem mentioned above, we should all pass some mucus at one time or another and sometimes get sore or itchy. I have found that Paladin, a diaper rash ointment, is good for that.
I have a problem that I hope someone can help me with - I had granulation tissue excised from the bottom portion of my stoma. Now it is red, raw, sometimes bleeds, and gets irritated easily. At the recommendation of my nurse, I use a small piece of Sulfa material in this area, placed with a Q-tip, before I powder and spray. But my opening is also near this area and I know the Sulfa material gets washed out quickly. Has anyone else had that problem? I was wondering if perhaps laser treatment to the area would heal it quickly as apparently this Sulfa material is not helping. It has been this way for two years now.
Also, I have been using the Hollister one-piece pouch with the charcoal filter at the top and Velcro closure at the bottom. Lately, I have been leaking through the charcoal filter. I thought there was supposed to be a lining over the charcoal filter to prevent this. Has anyone experienced a problem there? Thanks for listening, and if you have any ideas or thoughts, I welcome them.
