I had a weird experience last week. I put on a bag and used a ring to help it stay on. Apparently, the opening in the ring was a little too small and caused a blockage. Nothing was going into the bag, not even liquid. So I changed bags and tried to get myself regular by drinking apple juice, lots of water, and eating Activia. Anyway, I was wondering if it is possible to use a Fleet enema or suppository in a stoma. Has anyone tried this? The directions on both say for rectal use only. I was afraid that the intestine could be punctured since a stoma is not surrounded by muscle like the rectum is.
