Not yet. There are no Stoma nurses here. I've been to the Wound Center which is about 50 miles from me twice in the last month but this is a situation that I have to solve myself. I'm trying different Barrier Rings from different companies and hoping that I will reach a solution. If I can't solve the problem I will have to go back to Mayo in Jacksonville which is 300 miles away to see my Stoma Nurse there. Thanks for asking.

fortunately, our Ostomy Clinic is relatively close. We had been using the Coloplast Brava Moldable Ring which apparently was too high and didn't move the feces downward enough causing leakage. The new Hollister Adapt CeraRing Slim #8815 has now been used without any breakthroughs. The Coloplast can still be used by cutting it in half and remolding it to the proper shape. Good luck

@harrison221, I see that @lauramae3 and @piki posted several helpful tips and confirmed with her ostomy nurse. Did you try a thinner barrier?

You might also want to bring the question to the next Ostomy Monthly Support Group Meeting on Zoom Dec 3. See details here:

All welcome.
