The stoma bag lady

Chester, Cheshire, UK

Reporter, ostomate, Crohn's and Colitis advocate and lactose intolerant.

After living for 14 years with Ulcerative Colitis, I am now a proud bag lady and living life with a stoma.

This is an honest, brutal blog about my journey following two lots of surgery and my adventures with my ostomy.

I also use this blog to raise awareness of Crohn's and Colitis and the ostomy community, and to champion campaigns and stories that I believe could make a difference to sufferers' lives.
