ive seen one time a public ostomy facility. im wanting a ostomy toilet system in home. is there a kit? or should i find parts to create something. i use one piece bag iliostomy. instead of sitting down and useing toilet paper, i want to stand in front of a toilet waist high and then wash out bag with water hose, like a sink toilet combo waist high for standing use. so i need a two foot toilet bowl riser, or raise toilet up. and then build a water washing hose. better if i could find the system to purchase. i feel i waste alot of toilet paper and dont get very clean. if i could wash it out each time ,i think everything would be better. thanks for any thoughts

I have attached a sink type water sprayer to the water feed line on my toilet which I use to rinse out the pouch. I generally kneel down in front of the toilet when I do this. Kneeling down may be problematic to some depending on ones general state of health.

I would think that if you contracted a plumber that they should be able to raise a standard toilet simply by building a framework to set it on and adding an attachment to the waste drain piping. If you sold the house or needed for some reason to not have a raised toilet you could tear down the riser stand and return the toilet to its original position.

I'm short, so I can stand at a normal height toilet and use a 16 oz. plastic water bottle to rinse the pouch. A sprayer would be nice, but I'd likely hit the walls with water. This bottle works fine for me. I did have a rep from one of the system makers tell me to never get water on the wafer while wearing. I do it all the time and generally get 5 to 7 days wear, so boo to her idea.

I had to replace my toilet recently. The new one has an elongated seat so there is room at the front to deal with the pouch (I prefer to sit down) and I added a sprayer that's intended as a bidet but works great to wash down solids deposited at the front of the toilet and would also work well to rinse the pouch.

I've heard that, too. So water will destroy a wafer but digestive fluids etc won't? Boo to that, indeed!
