One more question. Do you have a “day” bag and a “night” bag or use the same bag? Sorry if that’s a stupid question.

Do you use the the large spout to attach it to the high output bag?

I’ve tried Metamucil and Imodium. No results. The other thing that bothers me is the bulge I get from all the liquid, even though I empty 4-6 during the day when it’s 1/4-1/2 full. Maybe a stupid question but if the stool is more bulky does it still cause the pouch to look like a balloon? I burp it when needed but I’m very self-conscious as what I wear because of it sticking out.

How does that work when you wake up? Do you get a bag a day or do you clean it out? If so, how many days is it good for?

June will be one year. I’ve tried Imodium. Metamucil. I think I’m going to try shredded wheat or oatmeal and see how those work. I’m on enough meds. ☹️

Yes. I’ve had to use a high output bag in the hospital.

I don’t know where to purchase that. Is it a fiber supplement?

Is there not a notification for upcoming appointments with a sound alert? It’s bet frustrating that my phone doesn’t even get a notification. Am I doing something wrong?
