My Crusting Routine | Love Your Stoma Skin | Ostomy Care | Bonus: Brava Strips

Crusting (& Extra - “Brava Strips”)

**DISCLAIMERS**

This video is about my experience - it is NOT meant to take the place of medical advice. I am not a medical professional. Call your stoma nurse, Gastroenterologist or surgeon’s office with any medical questions or for advice. 💜

A stoma is a surgically created part of the intestines that protrudes from the abdominal wall when traditional means of waste exiting is not possible - meaning emptying out from your bottom. I have an Ileostomy - my stoma is on the right, just below my belly button. You will see It do it’s thing - meaning, output (means I’m still alive). There may be some blood visible as well. This does happen often in some of us, on some occasions, and usually is normal. See your stoma nurse if concerns. So, if any of that can make you squeamish, I’m letting you know now 🙂

Bonus - I needed to add some extra support, so I’m using the Brava Elastic Strips right now.
