  • “The Ostomate Journal takes away the anxiety caused by a new way of life with a stoma. It gives such reassurance and a much better pathway to deal with life mentally and physically. The Ostomate bible”

    Mel North, Friends with Stomas Founder, @friendswithstomas

  • “A must-have for stoma patients, expertly designed to record food and stoma output that can be shown to your healthcare provider. Needs to be considered for all planned elective and emergency stoma surgery. Highly recommend”

    Anita Nasser, Associate Director of Nursing, NHS

  • “Invaluable in supporting the challenges of life post stoma surgery. It enables the user to feel empowered with guidance on hydration, food reintroduction and symptom management, whilst also allowing space for wellness and reflection.”

    Ant Andrews-Lockett, @ibdlife

    From TikTok

  • “The Ostomate Journal is packed with practical, easy-to-follow information, including guidance on foods to enjoy and those to avoid in the early post-operative weeks.
