@perezg1986 and @tapestry4245carton, you should be able to get help from an ostomy nurse. I invite you to join the monthly Zoom support group led by ostomy nurse at Mayo Clinic, Candy Boyes, R.N., RN-BC, C.W.O.C.N. The group meets monthly on first Tuesday of the month from 4 to 6 PM Arizona time. The next meeting in next week Feb 7. See more info here:

Have you had consultations with an ostomy nurse to talk about the leaking?
Hi perezg1986, I can sympathize with your mother's situation. I had a temporary colostomy (9 months) which leaked daily. At one ER visit, the ER doctor used Tincture of Benzoin as the adhesive. It was a game changer!!! He sent me home with enough samples to last until I could source some online. I never had leaking again. It takes a bit more to remove the substance when it's time to change the bag but it's worth it. Hope this helps.
