Breaking the stoma stigma

I feel things are on the up with spreading the word about stomas. More people are open to their new anatomy and more people are shouting about it.

Thank you to those who took park in my small video to raise awareness.

Thank you for the feedback.

Hi Clare Just thought I would write to congratulate you on your great blog which I discovered on Facebook. Love Tomas the Stoma’s approach to our condition! I have had a stoma (for UC) for over 40 years and have never looked back. To me it is THE normal and many of my friends do not even know I have a bag. Worrying thing is that not a lot appears to have happened about detection and treatment in that time. However, appliances have come a long way since the ‘hot water bottle’ I left hospital with. Unfortunately my daughter too had an ileostomy (UC again) a few years ago, but thanks to social media like yours she has a much more open and positive outlook to what was a ‘Cinderella’ condition until recently. Keep up the good work! J
