Below are a few links about irrigating. Also, you can
put "irrigating colostomy" in the search engine and see what comes
up. Everybodys body is different, but it does make life a lot easier
for some people. Until you make a decision, you might also try
flushable liners (http://www.colostomymajic.com/) for your bag.
That makes life easier also. Good luck!
