Reply to "Probiotics"

Thanks everyone for your replies. A colorectal surgeon I recently went to suggested probiotics to help with all the excess mucous coming out of my stoma. I have to change my stoma cover once an hour because of all the wetness. Vanessa - you said you had more wetness when you used probiotics (Align) unless you irrigated at night - that is what I am trying to avoid - more wetness. I was told by my surgeon that irrigation wasn't really necessary all the time, just when I felt the need to because of thick output. Is your output that thick that it is difficult to flow through your catheter, and is that why you have to irrigate at night? I'm not sure what the benefits of irrigation are & why that would make a difference as to the amount of wetness coming out of the stoma. - Dixie
