I have an ileostomy and I'm on chemo. My output is very smelly its embarrassing it's also thick.
I can spray but it lingers any suggestions?
Hi HazG
I use a Fabulosa loo spray in the loo which is really good-it’s a little spray bottle and just needs a couple of squirts in the loo bowl.
Lots of stoma supply companies have their own brand of deodoriser to use in bags, like Salts and CliniMed for example, in a small aerosol can. I’d suggest maybe getting some free samples to see what you like-there are different fragrances like lemon or minty and you may not need to purchase an expensive product online.

Hi HazG
It’s crazy sometimes what isn’t allowed on prescription isn’t it? I’d just order some of the free samples online to be going on with where there’s no charge and you can at least get something. I have had loads of free samples ordered online from various companies so that I could try things without adding them to my prescription. Hope you have some luck with that!
