Can you folks tell me again the name of the waterproof tape you use on your skin barrier when you swim and hot tub? Also, I am looking to start exercising when the snow melts here and plan to possibly join the YMCA. Do you folks know of exercises I shouldn't do with an Ileostomy? Have any of you fallen on your stomach and bag?? How sturdy are they if I slip or trip and fall if I am out walking?? Do any of you jog at all or do you just do walking? I want to possibly work with a trainer to be able to build my strength and muscles up so I need to know what to tell them in regards to weight conditioning. Is spinning a good exercise to do with an Ileostomy? Sorry for all the questions but this is the place to come for most answers! Pamela

If you've had a colostomy or ileostomy, you may experience some common food-related issues.
The good news is that you can avoid them with some small changes in your diet.
