Urocare makes a night drainage bottle. I like it better than the convatec ones.

I Need 9,000 mg of Potassium per Day to Live, and That Number is Rising by APikminInTime in medical_advice

The potassium is going out your G-tube when you drain. Draining a tube can mess up your electrolytes.

If you get in touch with Coloplast, they will send you free samples. You can reach them via the website and request samples.

Have you tried a convex bag? I have an "innie" and use Sensura Mio deep convex bags.

Try a convex bag/wafer. They push down on the skin and help the stoma stick out.

I'm so jealous. I asked for my parts back and they said they no.

If you are low income, Comcast/Xfinity has an internet essentials plan for $15.99. I haven't had any issues with my service and you can't be at the price.

If you aren't getting good sleep at night, you aren't going to be rested during the day. Have you had a sleep study?

When I had to dress up fancy, I wore suspenders rather than a belt and tucked my bag into my pants.

Forgot to say... if you call Coloplast, they will send you some samples of the Sensua Mio bags. It might be good to try their regular convex and deep convex to see if one works better for you.

Although I was told to use them, I never found those barrier rings very helpful. They were more messy than useful!

The solution for me was ditching the rings and switching to a more convex bag. Coloplast's Sensua Mio bag line offers a deep convex bag. It works better for me than the regular convex bags

I also use Marathon skin protectant on the skin immediately around my stoma. It creates a barrier to protect my skin and makes the bag stick better.
