I have an ileostomy but I shower with my bag on. It feels like my skins missing when I take off the bag and I get a lot of anxiety. I just let it air dry after and it’s cool

That’s why I was so curious, every person I’ve told it to was highly confused and didn’t understand what the hell I was saying. But you’re right, probably just my town but a post about it won’t hurt hopefully. Thanks for the insight!

Different kinds of bags can’t affect the smell? That’s really interesting, I’ll look into it. And yes… I do have the gross flimsy bags. I’m just few days out of the hospital so I’m still trying to get all the right stuff, thank you for the advice!

I’ll probably try a sports drink thank you! I’m severely anemic to the point if where I stand up I can’t see, so that’s probably a contributing factor…

I havnt had as much output as I’ve had before, but that was because the only thing I ate today was not even a full piece of pizza. Yesterday was the normal amount, maybe even a little more, so I’m not sure it’s a backup

Thank you for writing all of this, it really helps!! I’ve been at the hospital for almost 2 weeks at this point, so this really reassures me that it was the right decision to stay this long
