Everyday guidance for life with an ostomy

Organized around practical situations, Joan Scott’s guide addresses daily care for ileostomies and colostomies alongside questions that arise in ordinary routines: sleeping, bathing, sex, travel, and returning to work. It also covers food and drink, managing problems at home, and recognizing when emergency care may be needed. The advice is described as drawing on the author’s experiences and those of other people with ostomies. An illustrated self-help resource, it pairs health-related topics with concrete household concerns, including how to remove stool stains from carpet.
