does anyone have any thoughts on an itchy sore stoma. It’s driving me mad because I can’t get at it when my bag is on. The peristomal skin is not sore or irritated just the base of the stoma where it meets the skin.

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.
