Hi I’ don’t know many people with 2 stomas and at present I’m 10 months since I had my surgery. I’m having trouble at the minute with my colostomy bag as keeps bursting. Got barrier rings to try at the minute and see how I go. Also very itchy. My stoma has shrunk a lot and sinks in. 

  • Hi  

    I remember suggesting things before but don’t know if you’ve tried different things yet apart from the barrier rings? Have you h spoken to your stoma nurse, have you had your stoma re measured, tried different types of bags, used barrier spray or stoma powder? Have you looked at your diet to see if any changes could help if you have a lot of output?
