World Ostomy Day 💚

Today we’re recognising the ostomy community, those living with a stoma, preparing for surgery, supporting someone they love, and the healthcare professionals involved in their care.

A stoma can change the way someone eats, drinks and manages nutrition, but it doesn’t always mean long-term restriction. For some people, surgery can actually mark the beginning of eating with more confidence and less worry around symptoms.

Nutrition needs will always be individual, particularly when it comes to hydration, stoma output, recovery and food tolerance.

At the GI Nutrition Foundation, we’re here to help make nutrition after stoma surgery feel clearer, more practical and less restrictive where possible.

💚 One Community – Stronger Together.
