What you will read in this guide is advice that I have learnt myself over the past few years of living with a colostomy. They are my thoughts and ideas, and suggestions. Just because I’ve experienced the things listed in these pages does not mean you will. No two people are the same, and at the end of the day you will find you own routines etc to follow by your own trial and error.

This site is here purely as a guide and is not set in stone. Please feel free to stray from these guidelines and discover you own ways, indeed you may believe everything I have written is a load of rubbish, but for me personally this is the way I do things.

If, at anytime, you have worries that think need addressing so not hesitate to go to see your own family doctor, or stoma nurse. This guide is not intended as a medical reference book, and should not be treated as such. It is purely a lifestyle guide.
