Yes, some ileostomy absorbent gels can also be used in a colostomy pouch when the output is loose or liquid and the product directions support that use. These products absorb moisture inside the pouch and form a thicker, gel-like consistency.
Absorbent gel packets or loose absorption grains may help reduce liquid movement and make pouch contents easier to manage when used with compatible colostomy pouches. Product specifications should be reviewed carefully to confirm ostomy type, pouch compatibility, product format, absorbency, amount to use, and intended use.
