Ostomy: Adapting to life after colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy

I have gone through many things, but my biggest challenge has been dealing with a bad stoma rash. I have been to stoma nurses and have tried many things to try to heal it, but nothing has worked. It will be okay for awhile, then it flares up again and it is very painful.

@dideon Two things my husband has found help with the irritation. Milk of magnesia on the affected tissue and the best one -- Nasacort nasal spray. Be sure to dry with the hair dryer before attaching pouch. We wish you well and hope you find a solution.

I know what you mean about diverticulitis . I have had that since I started chemo. That is the worse pain !! I had a ileosohy done because they said that would help the pain! Now they old me to get my affairs in order .
No idea if they will try doing chemo in the next 2 weeks or not ,
I want to live but by the sounds of it have I no choices anymore !
Good luck with your pain snd hope you do really well with the colonoscopy . That will help I am sure ,
