Stoma Guards by Stomaplex.com

January 27, 2012

In these videos, Maggie models the Active-Life Stoma Guard ($148) and the Pure-Comfort Stoma Guard ($184), both sold by Stomaplex.com. In full disclosure, Maggie was paid to create these videos, and Nadia and I haven’t tried these products ourselves.

These belts are pricy, but they also seem to offer some protection to your stoma if you play really rough. There are, of course, a variety of belts and wraps out there that are much cheaper, for those of you who don’t need a shield around your ostomy and can protect it fine on your own.

Keep fighting,

Comfizz product reviews

November 28, 2011

Maggie from Let’s Talk IBD just released a series of videos reviewing various Comfizz ostomy support products. The underwear, belts, and wraps are designed to keep the ostomy bag firmly in place throughout the day or during physical activity. Comfizz is a UK-based company but does ship products worldwide.

In full disclosure, Maggie says she was supplied the products by Comfizz and paid to make the videos.

If you have questions about these products, please contact Maggie and not us, as we have not used any of these products.

Keep fighting,

Hair wrapping tips

September 21, 2010

Early in my illness when I was at my worst, I started having significant hair loss. A combination of my illness and medications-biologics, chemo, and prednisone contributed to my hair falling out. When shampooing, my hair started coming out in clumps or when brushing, it came out with each stroke. It devastated my self esteem. I started experimenting with scarves and other cover-ups to disguise my hair loss. Here are 3 tips on wrapping a scarf to help cover your head. Enjoy. If you have any questions please email me at Nadia@UCVlog.com
