I found this on radio show from radio 4 on another ostomy website and thought it might interest some poeple to listen to. Its about other things too but if you skip to about 31 mins 45 secs it gets on the the part about ostomies.

Hi Sophie96 is that the article on womans hour, I did hear it and found it to be a bit of a revelation that considering there are a lot of people with ostomies you never hear any programs discussing the issues. must be some sort of tabboo subject. Think I'll have another listen to it.

Hello Sophie96 I am an ostomate and a ostomy nurse and that BBC broadcast was terrific. I went on to ostomylifestyle and there was more information and well done. After 13 yrs with my lifesaving bag, I am still learning. Thanks

this is the first time I have left a comment. I too heard the article on woman's hour and thank goodness this taboo subject has been brought out into the open on national radio. I've had my ileostomy for 4 years now and have found that its something you just didn't talk about to anyone.
