Publisher's Synopsis
Everything you didn't want to know about living with a stoma and a little bit about IBD and Crohn's disease. This book gives a candid and honest insight into the problems you may encounter when living with a stoma (including graphic photographs). It highlights the failures, as I see them, in stoma care and explains a little bit about the mechanics of your intestine, as well as pointing you in the right direction for product information and support groups. There are plenty of books written about the clinical side of stomas but not many that deal with the problems you will come across, the feelings you'll encounter and the day to day frustrations of living with a stoma. This book is written to support the stoma patient and their family and to challenge the standards of stoma care in every hospital.
