Do you irrigate?

[Neil-B]

Irrigation is a somewhat under-promoted method in the UK for managing some types of colostomy, where rather than wearing a bag you empty the bowel when you flush it with water.

It would be nice to make more people aware of this topic. I have been approached by someone doing research into it, and would like to hear from anyone who is experienced who can give them some thoughts/feelings about how it works.

Thanks!

I irrigate, Neil. I have done since November 2012 and it has made the management of my stoma so much easier and more predictable. What would you like to know?

Hi Cabbyman, thanks for replying - I've sent a private message with more details.

Thanks!
