What stoma myths would you most like to see dispelled?
It is often hard for people who do not have a stoma to fully understand the mechanics of them. If you have a stoma, what myths have you heard that you would like to dispel? Do you have any tips to help people who want to explain their stomas to others?

Trying too hard and considering Metformin! Anyone else considering it?
I am feeling very well in myself and was hoping for some fun during remission but the d****d sciatica is severely restricting my activity. I have been trying to 'be normal' but 3 theatre trips on consecutive nights might have been overdoing it just a bit. I push myself to do as much as possible but a

My journey from Crohn's Disease, via bowel transplant, to normal life....
Sunday 2 September 2012 How do you define normal life? I'm pretty sure that my idea of normal life will be different from yours. When you are recovering from long term illness and major surgery the phrase that keeps popping up is "don't worry you will soon be back to a normal life." After having

Today is my birthday! I am counting my blessings!
I am 72 today! The stoma is settling, the backache is tolerable (just) it is not actually raining, symptoms are minor, it is not raining, I am going to see my friend who has Parkinsons, that always reminds me how lucky I am, then I am meeting a friend for lunch, my gradsons are ringing when I get home

My Garden intercepted by other projects
I take Ibuproten for pain and
Soma
for the rigidity. It's not enough to be rid of the muscle problem. In the next few days I am going to be removing terra-cotta stepping stones which are below the grade.

Colostomy - The Truth
Hi, I am 33. Last April (2011), I received laproscopic surgery for endometriosis. I had a 5cm cyst on my ovary and everything down there was so stuck down that they couldn't even see my fallopian tubes. I was also diagnosed with infiltrating endometriosis, which basically means it is in my bowel too

Does anyone else who has an ileostomy have to take Magnaspartate sachets for low magensium?
Because of the ileostomy which I've had for 18 months I suffer from low magnesium. I take 1-2 magnaspartate sachets per day but because they cause diahorrea I feel they do me more harm than good because soon after I take them I then have a couple of bags full of pure liquid poo (sorry if tmi!). It's

Help Needed on Ileostomy, for Mum 71
Mum had an ileostomy 2 weeks ago, has now been discharged from hospital but is having trouble getting things to thicken up if you know what I mean. She had a good day yesterday and only had to empty the bag 3 times, but so far since last night it has gone back to being all fluid. Any help on diet salt
