Abstract
Urinary and intestinal tract excrement, such as from a stoma patient, is thickened by admixture with a cross-linked water-swellable polymer, preferably including (meth)acrylic acid, nitrile and/or amide units. A hydrophilic adsorption agent such as silicic acid may also be included along with perfume materials, binders and/or enzyme inhibitors. By thickening, it prevents sloshing of the contents, reduces odors and facilitates ultimate disposal.
