I'm in this group for a friend and I hope that's okay with everyone. He's my ex and I've been his support system since his surgery, so I've seen what he's been going through.
He's desperate. He's had a stoma bag now for about 6 months. He's had to set his alarm every 2 hours at night to empty it. He can't seem to find answers as to why the bag is filling up faster at night. He's tried everything his stoma nurse has suggested: eating different foods, eating dinner earlier, and it's not working. He's exhausted. He just wants answers.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
