Can anybody here tell me the best odor neutralizer to use for my pouch? I have tried mouthwash and peroxide but to no avail. Was wondering what other people use to fight the strong odor. Thanks

You did not say which ostomy you have..I am asuming you have an
ileostomy.
Have you tried Devrom? I have been using this for 25+ years and it has
worked great for me and others. I take one tablet with breakfast and
one with dinner....absolutely no odor when emptying. You can take more
if needed, but 2 a day works for me.
If I eat fish or onions I take an extra one.
The Parthenon Co..(1-800-453-8898..
www.parthenoninc.com) makes this product. I purchase directly from
them...12 bottles at a time, 100 tablets to a bottle....shipping is
free...and it is much cheaper than from an ostomy supply store. You can
call for a catalog and samples.

Thanks for the advise....Yes, I have the ileostomy now for 2 weeks. I will call and order the pills.

I find the best stuff is a few liberal drops of vanilla essence/flavouring,
its has a very sweet aroma and I find it works well, plus it's as cheap as
chips and you can buy anywhere

I use M-9 drops. They are made by Hollister. After empting my pouch I
squeeze 4 or 5 drops into the end. It has been working for me for several
years. I don't like taking pills so that is why I use the drops. You
should be able to order it from any place that sells ostomy supplies.
