Diet and Your Colostomy (9042) is back in stock and available for purchase now.

This resource provides information on what a colostomy is and how to enjoy food following surgery, and is part of our Gastroenterology topic area.

It aims to provide dietary guidance for people following colostomy surgery, and support the following objectives:

• The Target Group will understand what their surgery was and the progress of recovery following surgery.
• The Target Group will understand the digestive process.
• The Target Group will know what a stoma is and what the stoma output should look like.
• The Target Group will know how to avoid stoma blockages, wind and other issues following surgery.

The information originally developed by NHS Borders and was reviewed and updated based on good practice in consultation with dietitians and specialists in gastroenterology.
