Reply to "Getting a permanent ileostomy"

I went from a J pouch (that I had for 30 years) to a BCIR since I wanted to avoid the issues associated with permanent ileostomies. That procedure, and the very similar K pouch, do not require having an external bag and is emptied with a small plastic catheter 3-5 times a day at the person’s convenience. There is a lot of information available on the internet about both of these procedures. The removal of the J pouch and creation of a BCIR or K pouch is typically done in one operation. Although there is nothing wrong about getting a permanent ileostomy, you may decide that one of the alternatives is more suitable for you.

Do you take the catheter with you when you go out??? If so, what do you put it in???
