Hi to everyone, I had my loop colostomy on 9th September '05, following rectal perforation during an abdominal hysterectomy. I'm getting used to it and have had wonderful support from my stoma nurses. However, I seem to have a perplexing problem, namely rectal odour. I have used glycerin suppositories and a micralax enema for mucus build up but still cannot get rid of the odour, which permeates my clothes. I will be meeting with my consultant next week to discuss further. However, in the interim has anyone else suffered with this and if so what helped. Hopefully something.

 

Hope everyone is well.
