Good support for your ileostomy
Hello,
I want to share my experience with ileostomy support pouches. About 7 months after my operation to remove my bladder, prostate, and a couple of other bits and pieces, and after starting work again, I started to experience some discomfort around my stoma - it felt a bit like groin strain. I received a "belt" to support my ileostomy bag from the NHS. However, it was not suitable for my condition. After looking online, I came across a US company called Pouchwear. The support belt was expensive at £127, but it took away the discomfort instantly. I have been wearing it 24/7 for the last three weeks without any recurrence of the discomfort
