Curios, anyone gone into a sauna or steam room with an ostomy?

When I had my loop ileo I took a sauna fairly regularly. Never had a problem but dehydration could be an issue so drink plenty before and while your in the sauna and dont over do it. Did not try a steam.

I took and still take them all of the time...love the heat in the winter (less so in the summer)..drink tons before going in (same for before taking a hot bath or shower) and I make a homemade lemonaide with mint for afterwards...hydrates quite well a replenishes the electorlites..if you feel dizzy or nauseous then get out or splash cold water on your feet and face.

Ya I take sauna regularly.After taking sauna you feel completely relaxed and calm.I enjoy taking it.Mostly I prefer taking sauna when I feel more stressed.

I'm wondering though, do you have to change your bag immediately after the sauna because of all the sweat? I assume output slows to a standstill in the sauna and that the bag is emptied just prior.

I did not have to change the bag after a sauna. Not sure why but it didn't seem to affect the seal. I typically do a cold shower after leaving the sauna. Really had no problems with it. The only really bad failure I had with the bag was bass fishing in a boat I think the continual casting movement of the arm may have broken the seal, it was also a hot day.
