Thanks for your reply Richard. ;) I went to EMERG. Sat there for 6 hours - saw the GI on call (what a freaking waste of time) Urine/Blood word came back normal. He couldn't find anything to match ALL...
So my family dr. said he thought the pain was just muscle spasms. My chiropractor adjusted me, I used a massager and felt GREAT! The whole next day I was a little sore but fine. RIGHT after dinner -...

Eat some bananas and carrots! They'll thicken things up...
I use Hollister remover wipes on dry skin first then rinse and wipe the area with a J cloth (the kind you'd use for dishes). It has a bit of texture so it cleans well without hurting. I use warm...
I find my bag and barrier (eacon ring) come off super easy 5+ days in. If I have to change earlier I get more residue. It's MUCH easier to get off when skin is dry even though your first instinct is...
I'm using Hollister and find the filters a big waste of money. They work for 5 minutes. Once you lie down it's all over....
