I have had my colostomy for 5 years and, like all of you, have my ups and downs. I am now facing a problem that if anyone can help me, I would be so appreciative. Please do not say go to wound care nurse, as I have been down that road and they are all about trying different appliances. Some work for awhile, then don't. This problem I am having is driving me crazy. I have everyday leaking around the stoma no matter what I try. This week it has happened every day, so now I don't want to leave the house, as one minute it is good and the next stool is everywhere. Please help me as I can't live like this. Thank you all. Hometown.
