Reply to "butt issue"

Vanessa,
use hydrocourt on the itchy bits, it works well but you can even try calomine lotion (sp?), it should calm it down nicely.
Yes, you may be hooking on something inside of your stoma and 'pulling it out'...and that can be very dangerous!!!! Keep your tube in for a week and see if it helps...if you hate the bag then bend the tube and clamp it down or plug it but leave it in....if you are hitting a wall then you are taking a wrong turn sometwhere...go slow...But I strongly suggest the indwelling tube for now...or use a stoma plug for the time being until it heals...something has come unhooked or twisted or unstapled. Mine was hooking and I ended up pulling out 3 staples...very close to catastrophic.
Go back onto full fluids for a while, blended stuff, soups and creamy desserts or tofu...avoid chunks of stuff or anything that would force you to pull and push your tube in and out.
Give it a chance to heal.
