I’ve had an ileostomy since I was a youth, but I want to lean more into my Judaism. I’ve never been in a mikvah, nor gone swimming in a natural source since before the big snip. What are the rules here? Obviously my whole skin can’t be immersed, and I’m afraid the water will loosen the adhesive and cause a leak. What’s the temperature like? Even if i am allowed to wear a wafer and bag (i read they can be permitted on the same grounds as prostheses) can I still wear external barrier strips?
I know this is esoteric, but I’d be so grateful for advice!!
