Hi all.
Was I glad of my stoma today. I got up this morning to find my toilet wouldn't flush. I had to wait until 4 pm for the plumber to come. I felt so relieved that I don't poo in the loo!! It just show we are in a better position than non ostomates sometimes.
Gosh what a day.maybe leave out the curry sauce next time.
We have to try these things tho dont we !!!
I got fed up with drinking tea and coffee yesterday and had 2 cans of diet cocacola.you can imagine what size my stoma bag was inthe night.lucky I woke up to vent the air.I could have taken off.

What a vision Kath!
I don’t know what I ate yesterday, nothing unusual or outrageous at all, but I seem to be having a big clear out today! I didn’t have any fizz drinks yesterday at all but also woke up to my urostomy night bag blown up like a balloon and ready for take off! I think it’s just going to be one of those days!
Haha! I’m living dangerously and just poured a glass of coke!
No vodka Ann-it’s a little early for that! I’ve let the second glass go flat but think I should go and investigate the gurgling noises coming from my bag.
Good for you Artsie Ann - how brilliant- to throw caution to the wind - watching what we eat and when we eat gets wearing sometimes. When I do the same I call mine a nuclear fallout - it's amazing just how much poo comes out and goes everywhere- at speed. If I was in danger I think I could protect myself by exposing my Stoma. I think an aggressor would run a mile.
