I used two-piece ileostomy solutions. The advantage is that you can take the bag off and put another one on (though in practice I never did this) and you can burp the bag. I don't think that I've ever seen a one-piece ileostomy but I have read about them.

Have you tried seeing a physical therapist? I wonder if they can help break up some of the scarring. Scarring has caused some pelvic pain for me, but PT has definitely helped. Might be worth it if you can find a pelvic specialist to work with.
P.s., thanks for the well wishes!
