I smell of fish!

Mooooods! Ban this person with immediate effect please.
By order.

Duh! - Plant-based fish? There must be a law against it or it is banned in the Bible or something...

No, really, I do.

I have a Stoma bag and every time I eat fish, I stink of it for a day or two afterwards. It comes out my pores and is present in bodily fluids as well as pee and poo.

Is my body simply not absorbing the fish or is it something else and how can I go about fixing the problem? I rather like fish you see.

It happens with even the smallest piece of fish, there seems no limit to what causes it and pre - bag, I never had a problem.

Yours fishily, MDB.

Maybe ask a gastroenterologist? Or is there a patient advocacy group for Stoma patients with a forum?

I am sure there must be a forum somewhere... 'Stomachat', maybe?

To be fair, it has long been a curiosity, but I am only now wondering about it.
I don't even see a Stoma Nurse regularly now, so I'd have to make an appointment with the G.P. at the very least.

I am surprised - The denziens of this here forum usually know everything (or at least think they do! 🤣), so... Umm... Never mind, thanks anyway.

Can't help but if it's any consolation I find my pish sometimes smells of stuff I've eaten recently (including fish and chicken); not sure if this is natural or a side effect of my potentially compromised liver..

My pish often smells of Sugar Puffs. Not sure if it is supposed to or if Sugar Puffs smell like pish.

What alternative would you recommend? I am genuinely curious.
I mean, is there some sort of veggie/vegan equivalent now or similar?

Thanks.

I have no idea. I was trying to help. Maybe have the fish experience but not the effects. I googled it for you and one example is Zalmon.
