It’s been quite awhile. I have called them once or twice before and the for this problem and they are never in the office. I leave a VM message but never get a call back.

@pidge32 if you are not getting through to the WOCN, then I'd suggest calling you colorectal surgeons office, your GPs office and/or you GI's office.
You need to be seen by someone who can look at you and help figure out what's wrong.

Sounds like you possibly are leaking stool from under your pouch or barrier. Whatever company you use, Hollister, Convatec or maybe Coloplast, they all have support videos and a WOCN, but you need to ask for one when you call. UOAA is a great resource. The annual membership for UOAA is very reasonable. You don’t need to have a membership, but they do send you a nice welcome package. They also have contact information of a Ostomy chapter that is closest to you.
