Geeze, I almost never get leaks, but had a wafer failure yesterday morning, with a repeat in the evening (maybe I used too much powder?). Then this morning, the pouch sprung a leak.

Probably caused by the diarrhea that's been plaguing me since I took all those antibiotics after surgery. Infectious diseases assured me they would take care of any problems, but now say it's my Crohn's disease, not the meds--based solely on a single symptom, not blood tests or anything.
Thanks, guys, really appreciate the bull.

Well. That stinks.
Figuratively and literally.
I think you may have answered your question to your problem.
Plus. In my experience. It's a pot shot everytime we put one on.
Because it's not an exact science. As in placement.
This is the place for "bull".
Express frustration.

Hi, Lee. Good to see you posting, but sorry about the leaks. Antibiotics always play havoc with my remaining innards, so can sympathize there. I'd get with GI & an ostomy nurse because meds can affect the skin ph, interfering with a wafer's adherence.
Hang in there.
