My newest video, “Foods That Change Ostomy Output: A Guide for Ileostomates, Colostomates, and Urostomates,” is available early on Patreon before it goes public on YouTube on July 17, 2026!

In this video, I share how different foods can impact ostomy output, including consistency, frequency, odor, and digestion. Whether you’re newly adjusting to life with an ostomy or looking for new tips, I hope this guide helps you feel more confident navigating food choices.
