I have had an ilio for 20 years. For the last 4, I've been dealing with constant leaks. I have tried every brand of flange, seal, or paste on the market with minimal improvements. I just bought a bottle of Torbots adhesive liquid. Has anyone tried this product? If so, what were the results? Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

If I were you, I would contact an enterostomal nurse. Something has changed, or a peristomal hernia has developed.

You have something wrong with your ostomy bag setup. As Gentlejohn said, you really need to see an ostomy nurse. I have used Torbot's adhesive; it is really tough on the skin. I used it when I had a very large hernia and when I had a horrible rash around my stoma. I remember it was very hard to get the bag off when I was ready to change, so have some strong adhesive remover ready if you choose to use it.
