Has anyone ever had a scope done through their stoma with an ileostomy? If so, who does it, the surgeon or the gastro guy? I heard of it but don't know where to go. Maybe they can see where this narrowing is as all the other tests don't. Another thing, how do you remove this adhesive from your hands or around the stoma after you remove the bag? Nothing seems to take it off. None of the removers work well and I practically have to scrub my skin raw. A real pain when it is on your hands and everything else sticks when you try to put together your bag. Anybody else have these problems?
