Sam Has a Stoma and Grandma’s New Bottom have been created to help young children become familiar with #stoma surgery. They’re ideal for children facing surgery themselves, as well as younger family members who may have questions or worries.

Grandma’s New Bottom was written and illustrated by Santina, a Grandma living with a #stoma, and uses gentle language and colourful illustrations to help children understand what a stoma is in a reassuring way.

We’re really pleased to share that @morrisons has joined our Stoma Friendly Toilets campaign, making all their stores stoma friendly – that’s 500 branches across England, Scotland and Wales!

Accessible toilets in every Morrisons store will include practical features such as a shelf for supplies, hooks for clothing or bags, a bin for discreet disposal, and a mirror for appliance checks.

These might sound like simple additions, but they make a big difference. For the 1 in 335 people in the UK living with a stoma, access to appropriate facilities can mean greater comfort, dignity, and confidence when out and about.

We’re proud to have worked with Morrisons on these improvements and, following @bandq_uk, to see another major retailer take this positive step towards making everyday spaces more inclusive.

Can endometriosis lead to a stoma?

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows elsewhere in the body. In some cases, this tissue can grow on or into the bowel. This can cause ongoing pain, bowel problems, blockages, and other serious symptoms that affect day-to-day life.

This can cause ongoing pain, bowel problems, blockages, and other serious symptoms that affect day-to-day life.

When bowel #endometriosis is severe, surgery may be needed to remove damaged sections of bowel. In a small number of cases, this surgery can result in a temporary or permanent #stoma.

When ovarian cancer is more advanced at the time of diagnosis, it will sometimes have spread to the surface of the bowel (intestine). In these cases, to ensure as much of the cancer is removed as possible, surgery may include removing a part of the bowel. If the two ends of the bowel cannot be joined back together, the surgeon will create a stoma

"Being able to leave the house and move my body increased my confidence massively. After surgery, I felt very stuck indoors and it’s easy to see how mood can dip. Being in nature and moving my body has always been important for my mental wellbeing, and this was especially true after surgery."
