Hi I have a cecostomy and need to irrigate my bowels at least four times a week . I used to get equipment sent to me when I was under paediatric specialists but now I'm an adult this has stopped. I've been to my GP and she can't seem to order any I really need this equipment or I'll end up in hospital I don't know what to do now or who to speak to any advice would be amazing . Thank you.

Hello, I used to use Coloplast bowel irrigation equipment and I got it on prescription, but originally from the colon nurse at St. Marks Hospital, Harrow, Middx. I was receiving treatment from there for a while. It is a specialist hospital and I hope they may be able to help you.
