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.
