@a009507, I wanted to check in to see how you are doing. Have you managed to find a way to make the pouch more comfortable? Have you found a stool softener that helps?

Thanks for asking. I’m now taking Miralax everyday. It’s working and has no taste which is even better. Also, am using water to clean my pouch. It really helps to clean out the pouch. I continue to have problems putting on my pouch so it sticks due to stomach roll in the area.

The stitches still present an issue but it seems I’ve become more accustomed to the discomfort.
