I started having lots of pancaking output between daily irrigations. This was right when I changed my breakfast to shredded wheat. Changed back to bacon and eggs, Toaster Scrambles, ect. and got good results.

Also noticed I got lots of solid returns one day, and little the next. I am now experimenting going 48 hours between irrigations. So far, I only get a small output during the second night, solid without pancaking. I'll take it!

I'm going to the Dayton Chapter of UOAA tomorrow for a regular monthly meeting, they will have WOCNs there breaking into different groups for different kinds of ostomies.
