Re: Colostomy leakage problem

Some things to think about and maybe try...
Leave a little air in your pouch.  If your stool is  formed or thick, it
will pancake at the stoma and push your wafer off.

Don't cut the opening to fit too snug around the stoma, if your stoma is
flush or nearly flush.  The stoma will pull in with peristalsis, and
break your seal and stool will go under the wafer instead of into the
pouch.....because the stool is larger than the opening in the pouch. 

Try  less or no paste...maybe a slight convexity to your wafer would be
better than the paste. 

Watch your stoma and surrounding skin when you drain...that will tell
you a lot.

Don't be discouraged.  It took all of us a little time to get the hang
of it.  Keep working at it and ask your questions..we are all here to
help.
