Is your stoma retracting behind the bag by any chance? Because if that's what is causing the leaks I may be able to help you.

My stoma was too short to go all the way into the bag. So when it retracted, the stool leaked behind the bag. You can imagine what all that acid does to the adhesive on the bag and your skin! Ouch!

I was able to solve the problem somewhat, but still had too much output, so constantly dehydrated and in the hospital for iv fluids. They tested my pouch just after 2 months, thankfully it was completely healed and I was able to have the takedown done.

It was definitely worth it to have the test done to see if it was healed. I hated having to live in the hospital.

Haven't used this site in a long time. If your problem is the stoma is too short, you can try to message me and I'll see if I can help.
