Richmond, North Yorkshire@nezuumii Hi mate, thanks for sharing the hydration recipe really handy 🖒 What do you do about emptying your bag when out on hikes? Planning on going on one this year and have an ileostomy myself
@ileostomy_on_tour @oooccoo hi, I use a two piece so it’s very easy to change if hiking in company & just double bag it and put it in my rucksack for bringing off the mountain & if in a generally quiet area or solo I just go to the toilet as normal but use toilet paper & get on with my hike. If I use wet wipes I always place these into a bag and again bring it off the mountain with me as most are made of plastic. If anyone sees although will try to hide (as anyone would in a wood etc) then hey ho life goes on 😉👍 I’m planning Kilimanjaro this year so that’ll be interesting as in a group of strangers 🤔
Attended a wedding at Beamish Hall this weekend with my beautiful wife, son & girlfriend & no one would ever know I’m celebrating also with my new ileostomy bag cover thanks @sarahssewingshed Positive bag half full type of guy #bagwhatbag @insta

Today is naming day After 18yrs of calling my stoma “little shit” I’ve decided to call him tomas (play on stoma ovs ) for one main reason that my Nana hates swearing and goes mad with me for saying it Happy 18th year Tomas #stoma #colostomy #ileo
