UOAA Discussion Board

I just read in Friends of Ostomates Worldwide (Ostomy Pearls – Travel), an article by a WOC nurse, saying: "Use solidifiers in your pouch to thicken output. Folks with ileostomies and urostomies use these at bedtime to reduce leaks."

I've never heard of using a urine thickener/solidifier for a urostomy. Is this actually a thing? Or was this maybe a typo?

I've had a urostomy for a couple of years now.

it is a typo i have had my urostomy since 2011 and have never heard of such a thing for urine. it does work for ileostomies however.
