Guide to Ostomy Accessories: Stoma Guards 

Hi Eric, I have had a recent colostomy (2 weeks ago) and I'm finding your reviews and instructional videos quite good. You are concise and comprehensive. There are an overwhelming number of products choices and options out there and these viedeos really help to inform. Thank you and take care, Ron

Thank you for this information. I just got the StomaGuard and while it’s a little larger than I’d like, it seems to cover my stoma very well. I use a one-piece from Coloplast, so I decided against the stomadome even with a wrap holding it in place. At first I thought I was being overly cautious in getting stoma protection, but within the first 30 seconds of being with my horse recently, she head-butted me in the stomach as a greeting and rebuke for being away for so long. Only my daughter has been allowed to ride and visit the barn since the pandemic started, so she’s been a bit under-exercised and bored. She’s gentle, but she’s still 1,000 pounds of muscle and bone, and she doesn’t know her own strength - or the fragility of the humans around her. I’m so grateful you did the product testing and review. It raises awareness about an important issue that we may not think about until we go back to a normal life. I’m not thrilled with the bulkiness of the product as I’m pretty small, so I don’t think I’ll wear the guard unless I really feel there’s a decent chance of impact. But I was sure glad I had it at the barn recently.

I just got my StomaShield from Stoma Guard this is my first time wearing it and I really like it already. We'll see how it does with time but it feels good on, lightweight and I like the security of having protection over my stoma for just daily activities

Your videos are so helpful. Thank you for doing them. It is great to get honest, easy to understand information. Well done!

Hi Eric, you are an excellent presenter for us ostomates. I am newly in the community 3 weeks ago and have learned so much from your videos. I felt hopeless about returning to work in the future as to how I would be able to function. I appreciate all your efforts and please keep the videos coming. PS like your T-shirts especially " Strut your front butt" lol. Gary

This is cool, didn't know they had these products out. Now I can get something to protect my guitar from smashing against my bag. Great vid, thanks!

I've had my stoma shield for about 2 years now and it's the best thing I've done. Allows me to wear a seat belt, or have my cat rest on me and not have me worry.

Goodness, I go away for a minute and come back to two videos. What a treat. I'm currently in the hospital for Sepsis along with a healthy dose of kidney infection. I'm thankful for my iPad which allows me to watch You Tube and keep up with all of your tips, tricks and advice. Any advice on how to make the food taste better😖thanks for another great video. Do you think a convex stomach needs one of theses? 🤔✌️❤️✌️🤔

You talk about guards protecting against things that "bump" into your stoma. What do you think is the most convenient shield to wear while sleeping so a person can roll over with an ileostomy and, sleep on their side?

Eric... are there any accessible interviews with you available? I'm really interested in how you segued your "before" life into this super helpful platform. Thanks!

The video is titled Guide to Ostomy. Accessories: Stoma Guards. You have 4 stoma guards in the display. The guard is the one in the upper left corner. It’s the only one that comes with the belt. The other three are smaller. Where can i get that stoma guard

I know children and babies with ostomies Can you touch on the subject and.....using heating pads n blankets with a worry about the bag melting off and other myths Thanks. Kw

Hey Eric how are you. Looking good great video great work. See you in your next video. Take care. from Ann.

I've recently had an ileostomy and I've been wondering how I'm going to be able to wear my kilt for an upcoming wedding. Would you have any advice on this? Kilts are typically secured quite tightly around the waist. I'm thinking a stoma guard could be the answer. Thanks in advance.

Hello Eric. Do you think one of these guards will be helpful with a prolapsed stoma? My father's stoma keeps coming out about 6-7 inches. The surgical correction is not an option as of right now. We are looking for something to keep his intestine inside.

what would work best with a stealth belt?

Where can I buy one of these in Canada ?

Hi I'm a 54 yr old grandma who is to have a temporary ileostomy and have three grandchildren two which are three years old. They love to jump and hang on Grammy as much as possible which do you recommend for me for my abdomen is quite tender and quite distended. Praying this surgery will answer some questions for me. Been watching your channel a lot before my surgery on Aug 14.

To bad i live in middle east it semi impossible to get these accessories

Any experience with Ostomy Armor? It seems to be really high-end. As a mechanic, I also appreciate that it's metal, but it's pricey. Thoughts?

Hello Eric, where can I purchase the guard with the black belt? also would this guard be good with a stealth belt? If so where can I purchase them? Thanks Frank
