Hi! My husband and I want to plan another road trip. But this will be my first time traveling with an ostomy. I really want to go but I am worried about being on the road for so long and sometimes out in the middle of nowhere where there is no restroom or outhouse in sight. Have any of you been in this situation? I am worried about having a blowout with my bag and being stuck in the car with my husband and 2 stepsons plugging their noses. We want to travel out west again and sometimes there is nothing but desert and mountains for a long stretch. I guess if I have to, I will go behind a mountain to change my pouch and hope I don't come face to face with a mountain lion or coyote.
