“A must-have”: Eakin Ambassador Nikki Jones on The Ostomate Journal

The IBD awareness champion reviews The Ostomate Journal

“This would have been amazing straight after my surgery,” Nikki Jones says in her video describing The Ostomate Journal, on her Instagram, @jonesvschrons. She flicks open the pages and highlights the main benefits: the shopping list, illustrations for foods allowed and to avoid, the day-to-day meal planning plus the space to write down output and leakages. “This would have made me feel more confident,” she says. “Writing things down in those early days are so important.”  

On her Instagram, Nikki shares her experience of living with Crohn’s disease for 17 years, her multiple surgeries and life as a busy mum of two. With her latest surgery only in January 2026, she updates her community on her progress in a relatable, honest and positive way.

“Beautifully put together and full of information and help. It is clear a lot of thought and heart has been put in to it. A must have book for new ostomates and something I believe would have helped the transition to stoma life for me, but I can still use now for those up and down days and times in a flare.”
