Sense-care is an adhesive wipe that works very well for me after others I tried failed. I have learned to always think allergy when my skin irritation won’t stop.I had problems with stool consistency. Finally a nutritionist helped me to stop eating a lot of fiber. I now eat white bread, rice. I avoid all sugar and from the start stopped all caffeine and only drink to thirst per my mayo urologist. Question the fiber supplements. My change to enriched grain greatly improved my life. Get with a nutritionist, physicians are not the best for nutrition.

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I have been using an adhesive cleaner wipe that my skin tolerates, I then wash this off with soap and water and then Cavilon wipes around the stoma with a dusting off stoma powder. I agree with you that the fibre supplement is not the answer and I will ask my GP for an appointment with a nutritionist. I admire you for your strength and willingness to help others. My life is easy compared to yours. Thanks again.
