Another real embarrassing question

[Treckie]

My son had an iliostomy for a year. He had the same problem that you experience. What helped him was, we would put a thin maxi pad in the bag. This would absorb much of the liquid and keep it from sloshing around and irritating his skin and causing the wafer to unattach. Anyway, if you haven't tried that, maybe it's worth a shot. Now days, the pads are thinner and more absorbant too. Good luck!

Now there's an innovative idea! My daughter used a pad to staunch the bleeding when my son had gouged himself falling on a twig and it was a couple hours before they could get a doctor up on the mountain to stitch him up. Aren't pads wonderful? Weather permitting, I'll give this a try on Sunday. I do have superthins on hand.

You'll try falling on a twig on the mountain hours away from a Doctor?

I hope not. Now when did this happen?

Oh the things I learn on this board ok, sis, what other escapades have my neice and nephew been through in the wilds of Norway that I did not know about. Encounters with polar bears?

once again this is a Help board! I'm not real sure how falling on a twig way up in the BFE mountains will help Bikeless" problem...but I'll wait for her post come Monday!

I had a bag for a really short while due to a caecal volvulus. Angling the bag worked for me. Also, I didn't own a road bike then, only a MTB so I was sitting up taller. Good luck!!!
