How I Change My Ostomy Bag | #ConvaTec 2-Piece Appliance | Ileostomy IBD Life | #Ostomy Tips
**DISCLAIMER**
A stoma Is a part of the Intestines that protrudes from the abdominal wall. You will see It do Its thing - meaning, output (It means I’m still alive). So If that can make you squeamish, I’m letting you know that now 🙂

Hey folks!
I’ve explained most of the video in the intro but I’ll also go ahead and list the products for y’all below.
You may note in the video that I got two weeks before changing this one. The reason, I believe, is that I rinse my pouch (bag) several times a day with warm water. Because the stool is very acidic at this point of it’s journey on the way out of our bodies, it doesn’t have the chance to break down the wafer if it’s not sitting there too long. I plan to do a video on how I do that - at home as well as if I’m out.
Additionally, I had a gap In my wafer before the flange set up completely. This gap, because of the ConvaTec moldable technology, bounced back to “hug” my stoma as it became it’s active self once heat was applied. That’s why I use this product.
Lastly, I’ve always had the red “ring” around my stoma and It has never posed a problem but occasionally It has extended outward (even small leaks happen to the longtimer) so I will apply stoma powder as needed.
I hope this has been helpful! Please consider liking and subscribing (hit that bell too) so you can be notified of my future videos as they drop and so that YouTube might also share them with others who may be helped by these videos too 🙂
