Please Note
The links to the Message Boards are tested regularly and removed if found to be out of date. We advise you to make a copy of any useful information you may find as old messages will eventually "drop off" the boards.
All advice is offered in good faith by ostomates or family members, but should be checked with your ostomy nurse or doctor.
