Ostomate ka ba?
Hindi hadlang ang pagiging ostomate para makabalik sa mga gawaing nakasanayan na, ang sitwasyon na ito ay dugtong ng ating buhay para makatulong at makapagsilbi pa rin sa ating kapwa. Ostomate ka ba?

Emptying
This photo may be offensive to non ostomates but usually this is one
of the ways to drain the stool in the toilet bowl. Others would use a stool
beside the bowl and then drain. It will be very difficult to do this in public
places.
What is great in other countries in Japan is that there are special toilet
bowls that is used by ostomates for cleaning purposes. And what is commendable
is that you can find such toilet bowls/sinks in public places.
It will take some time when this toilets will apply soon in our country in the Philippines.
Toilet for Ostomates in Japan
Maybe senators and politicians can consider this initiative to install special toilets for hospitals and appropriate places where people with colostomy will not have a hard time in cleaning and disposing stool.
A quality of life for all ostomates.
comments and suggestions are most welcome.

Ileostomy
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:
An ileostomy is an opening that is made in the ileum (the lowest part of the small intestine) with surgery. After the opening is made, the end of the ileum is brought to the surface of the abdomen. The stool drains from the ileum to the outside
of the body through an opening in the abdomen called a stoma.
The stoma is usually located on the lower right side of the abdomen. The stool has a liquid to soft consistency and drains into a flat, changeable, watertight bag or pouch. The pouch is attached to the skin with an adhesive (substance that seals the pouch to the skin).
An ileostomy is sometimes needed for Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, cancer, trauma or other diseases. With an ileostomy, the colon and rectum are usually removed
and cannot be used again. However, temporary ileostomies are sometimes done to allow the colon to rest and heal for a period of time.
