“Can they smell anything from my pouch? Do they notice my pouch? Who should I tell about my ostomy surgery?”

Time to Face Your Fears
Make sure your pouch is secure.
Odor can occur when there’s a loss of seal at the stoma site or if the tail closure is not clean.
ESENTA™ Sting Free Skin Barrier Wipes* create a breathable barrier that protects the skin from damage caused by pouch application. This can help secure the barrier around your stoma.
*Refer to Instructions-for-Use prior to use.
Avoid foods that can cause excessive odor such as:
- Asparagus
- Baked beans
- Broccoli
- Eggs
- Fish
Some food and drinks can help reduce odor, including:
- Cranberry juice
- Orange juice
- Parsley
- Peaches
- Melons
Use odor-control sachets
If you have an ileostomy with liquid output, this product will solidify liquid contents and reduce or eliminate excess gas, which may also lead to a flatter, more discreet pouch.
