Hey guys, need some tips to prevent pancaking/mushrooming. I've had a couple of incidents recently where the bag gets pushed off. I know I need to increase my fiber intake, but wary of constipation.
My nurse recommended a lubricant they sell at my clinic, but don't like the idea of shelling out $20 a month on this if it doesn't work.
Any tips as to cheaper alternatives? Can I use something as simple as olive oil or baby lotion to help?
Many thanks and hope you're all well.
