After a conversation with a representative at Coloplast I ordered some samples of their protective sheets. I have used them for two changes now and have had very good results even in this very humid weather. She explained that the barrier shields I have been using can be compromised by the high liquid output of a ileostomy and become soft and spongy, which they did, and break the seal. The irritation I had has completely disappeared and others might want to try them. They are applied first to the skin before the wafer. You will definitely need an adhesive remover wipe to remove them comfortably.
