I had to stop drinking my beloved gin and tonic's.....too much gas. However, I now drink Vodka and cranberry. Very good, least amount of calories of all drinks, not gas inducing, cranberry makes your poop smell better and they are tasty! My advice to you....drink LOTS of water, otherwise you will end up with one heck of a headache. Cheers!

Hi Allison, I'm in Newcastle (NSW). Home of the worlds biggest coal port! :(
Where did you sis move to?

Thanks for the suggestion too! I'm going to give the vodka and cranberry juice a go! If that fails, perhaps just codka and water. (I like my vodka shots :p )

butterscotch or peach schnapps with baileys makes your output smell like peaches and cream! although it has ALOT of calories, lol

So I had a good night. Drank half a bottle of vodka (it was a small bottle though) as we went to two BYO places for dinner and dessert before we went out into town. Gas wasn't a problem when I was out at all. Output was watery even with a couple of gastrostop capsules.
I didn't have a leak or anything while I was out too. But I was soo paranoid about it (partly because I've had a few lately). I kept going to the bathroom at every place we went to to empty and check myself even though I really only needed to empty one of those times. I was just heaps paranoid. I got freaked out towards the end of the night too. The more you drink, the more you get drunk and the more you spill... So I was sitting on the lounge chatting and noticed a wet spot right where my bag is. Freaked out, had to go to the bathroom, thankfully it was just booze!!

So my question:
I've always been told to have a spare bag with you incase of leaks. It makes sense. But what about when you go out into town? I don't take a bag with me (as in a non-poop bag :p ) so I have no where to put it except my pocket. Which is actually what my STN suggested. But when I got back to my friends house I emptied my pockets and found the base plate was that bent out of shape it couldn't be used! Thankfully I didn't need it at all...
I'm sure girls would be fine as they can put it in a handbag, but I can't really take a bag (non poop bag again :p )out with me, I'd eithe rlook weirder on the dance floor with one or it'd get stolen while I'm wandering around!

So what do you's do?

Liquor just pours through my ileostomy. My electrician said I could enter a drinking contest and be the winner left still standing as everyone else is passed out dead drunk, that stuff doesn't even enter my system it whales through so fast. Now back in the good old days when I had the use of my colon, that was another story......:-) Just my side of the story. Rosemary

I havent drank much lately, but when we go to bars i take my pocketbook, when we go to clubs, i just leave my pocketbook in the car, and if i need to chagne i will just go to the car, or sometimes i leave it with the guys, they dont care, they are just watching the girls anyway!
