Hi WIndy,
Thanks for your call. NOt up to talking am still pretty wiped, but can you email me your email address because I want to send you some pics of my stoma. Mine increased greatly in size and turned darker red right after I started using Stomahesive paste to replace the eakin seal which was letting poop get on skin and caused a peristomal burn. THis was gradual and at the time I did not really pay attention as I was focused on the peristomal burn but this could be a major issue.
I went back to the eakin and am going to take some benedryl and PRAY that the enlarged stoma was just a reaction to the stomahesive. Likely not but one can try. I did mention that when I was admitted for the sbo but nobody thought much of it. BUT my stoma did not look like this prior to using the stomahesive paste.
Email me at
[email protected] and leave me your email address. I want to get these pics off to you. Am not sure how to post them here or if we are even allowed to but want to get them to you. SOrry I lost your email address. Thanks for call. Got discharged and am home praying I don't reobstruct. Living on protein shakes. Rosemary
