Traveling with illeostomy


Fri, September 06, 2019 6:42 AM

I have had a temporary illeostomy twice before. I have a J- pouch that is no longer functioning properly and now face a the possibility of a permanent illeostomy. We enjoy traveling but during the times I had the temporary illeostomy whenever traveled. Has anyone had issues with TSA and their ostomy? I’m sure people still travel but I can’t imagine it’s not an issue.
