How do you stop from going when changing your bag?? Mine is liquid and it goes and goes when ever I change my bag each day. Does anyone have any trick's to stop from going long enough to change your bag? I aslo have pyoderma right under my stoma so I don't want stool to get into it, but it's so hard when it's going all over the place.

Hi Helen - not eating/drinking for a hour or so before you change in addition to taking an anti-diarrhea med may help. Also, eating a few large marshmallows 20-30 minutes before may considerably slow down/temporarily stop output.

You may want to pose your question over on the ostomy forum, you will probably get more responses: https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=33
