Hi everyone, I'm 5.5 months post ileostomy and settling into my new way of life (including ongoing chemo).
I've been using Fittleworth for all my supplies as that's who my hospital is signed up with. I've read various comments about suppliers, Fittleworth pops up with more negative than positive comments regarding service and quality of products.
As they are the only supplier I've used, I can't draw my own comparisons. However, I do know that I have given them more than enough chances to cut my bags correctly and they have failed every time. I've been having uncut bags which is working OK, but I have arthritis and sometimes find cutting difficult and painful.
I've recently requested some samples of deodorant sprays, absorbent gels, bridging pads etc from a variety of suppliers which has led to sales calls so I need to decide whether it's better the devil you know or time to jump ship, or do I manage several suppliers?
I'm currently being courted by trio healthcare and Bullen. I would really like to hear your recommendations, experiences and pros & cons on any suppliers you've used.
Thank you in anticipation of your wise words x
