I have a loop ileostomy, the first part is small and squashed and the second part is tall and round. Unfortunately it’s the small squashed part that is active. The waste gets caught up behind the tall part and pancakes. I’m getting sore as it leaks under the ring. I’m coping but it would have been so much better if the tall round part of the loop had been the active one. Has anyone else had to deal with this, any advice would be so welcome. Thanks Jill11
I really hope they help Jill11
I had problems for a time with my urostomy bag leaking and the items were a real game changer for me-giving me a lot more confidence, along with changing to a convex bag. I notice you are not long out from surgery so I hope your recovery is otherwise going well and this issue will resolve for you. Take care.

I had a different surgery with a longer recovery time as it was more major, but it’s good to read that you are starting to feel better now. Once you are used to dealing with your stoma and understanding more about how it works for you personally, things definitely get better!
