I have solved the odour issue when changing bags and in other circumstances, by pouring a few drops of apple cyder vinegar. This is for information only.

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community.

    A cancer diagnosis can be very challenging bit every little tip that helps the journey is great.

    The Community has many cancer specific support groups so can I recommend you join our supportive Ileostomy, colostomy and stoma support group as this will be a good place to connect with folks on the same cancer treatment pathway and where your can support others.

    To join a group just click on the link above then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens.

    You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘New Thread’ or hit the box with the X on the top right (phones), you could just copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'. 

    All the very best.
