Reply to "Going at work or public bathroom"

I have not been around in a long time but I thought I would share a few things.

To decrease the size  of the kit I carry with me I ordered 30 cc syringes off Amazon (box of 24) that will last me a very long time.

I too, on some days leak mucous (and stool) and need a covering that will protect my clothes and my skin. Unfortunately, my insurance does not cover my ostomy supplies so Ampatch is not an everyday choice. Gauze and band aids would not work. I use nursing pads (Lansinoh) and paper tape with great success and they are easy.

There are foods that either bind me or clog the catheter, that I disappointingly have to stay away from them or take a bite say yum, that's it. For example; sweet potatoes, honeydew, bananas, mangoes, spaghetti squash or sauces that have chopped veggies in them  get stuck in the cath holes.

Everyone is different....but knowing my nonsense might help you.
