The emotional side of having an ostomy can be just as unpredictable as the physical side — and everyone copes differently. Some struggle, some adapt, and some find comfort in humour.

In our newest blog, we meet Stig, a colostomy with a mind of his own. His owner shares the raw reality of waking up from surgery, facing blowouts, learning the ropes, and eventually finding confidence through laughter and acceptance.

It’s a reminder that stoma life isn’t just about appliances and routines — it’s about resilience, identity, and finding joy again after illness.

What if we stopped judging our bodies by how they look, and started appreciating them for what they do?

Bryony, one of our incredible advocates, recently shared a powerful reflection on body confidence, not focusing on appearance, but on the amazing things our bodies do for us.

"Our bodies carry us through illness, recovery, laughter, heartbreak and every moment in between. They adapt, they heal and they keep going—even when life feels unpredictable.

Living with a stoma can change your relationship with your body. But sometimes, the greatest shift comes when we stop focusing on appearance and start recognising the incredible work our bodies do every single day.

Your body isn't a project. It's a partner."

Share these words with someone who might need a reminder of their own strength today.

It’s easy sometimes to talk badly about our own bodies. Whether we have been through health challenges, traumatic events, or simply don’t think parts of ourselves look how we want them to. So we asked our advocates to rewrite the script – turning harsh words they’ve said about their bodies and rewriting them with kindness.

“I hate my stomach” became “It gave me two boys.”

And “My body is unlovable” became “My body has allowed me to recover from surgery and has got me through it.”

This is a reminder that a body that has been through illness and major operations isn’t just surviving, it’s showing incredible strength.

What kind words would you give your body today?

“I thought it had ruined my life.”

Many people feel this way after stoma surgery.

But sometimes, the thing you fear most becomes the thing that gives you your life back.

Less pain. More freedom. More space to live, not just endure.

Thank you, Andrew, for sharing your story with us.

Let’s take a look at the ages of ostomates around the world 🌍

Do these numbers surprise you?

Acceptance doesn’t happen overnight.

For many people living with a stoma, it takes time — time to navigate the hard days, the doubts, and the milestones no one else sees.

But within all of that, there’s strength. There’s resilience. There’s the quiet courage it takes to keep showing up, even when it’s tough.

This is the real, human side of life with a stoma. Not about being fearless or pretending it’s easy, but about finding your way forward, one day at a time.

If any part of this feels familiar, you’re not alone.

How long did it take you to accept your stoma?
