🎗️ Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and those assigned female at birth — yet bowel endometriosis is still rarely talked about. 🎗️

If digestive symptoms flare around your period, get worse each month, or are brushed off as “just IBS”, that pattern matters. 👀

Bowel endometriosis can impact digestion, energy levels, mental health — and in some cases may require bowel surgery or a temporary stoma.

This , we’re sharing information to help people feel informed, supported, and heard. 💜

📌 For reliable information and support, Endometriosis UK is a valuable UK-based resource for anyone wanting to learn more.

Recovering from stoma surgery can bring big changes to your body and relationship with food. For some, this can increase the risk of disordered eating or heightened food anxiety — and it’s more common than you might think.

Swipe through to learn how to spot the signs, manage your nutrition safely, and support a healthy relationship with food post-surgery.

Remember: you’re not alone. 💜 Seek guidance from your stoma care nurse, dietitian, or support groups if you notice changes in eating habits or body image.

🚻 Accessible toilets are for access, not appearances.

For people living with a stoma, even simple day trips can be stressful. Cramped cubicles, limited shelf space, and the fear of judgement make public toilets a challenge. That’s why stoma-friendly facilities are essential.

📌A huge thank you to Colostomy UK and Crohn's & Colitis UK for campaigning for stoma-friendly toilets across the UK — your work makes day-to-day life easier for thousands. 💜

💡 Tools like RADAR Keys and Can’t Wait Cards help reduce anxiety and give independence.

Together, we can make public spaces truly inclusive for ostomates.

Comfort matters after stoma surgery! 💜

Getting used to discomfort isn’t the same as feeling comfortable. After stoma surgery, small pulls, rubbing, or pressure can happen — but you don’t have to just tolerate it.

Listening to your body, protecting your skin, and making small adjustments can make a big difference to your day-to-day comfort. And if you need a little extra reassurance, support garments, wraps, or belts can help you move with confidence and ease. 🧡

💡Remember: your stoma, your comfort, your pace. 💪

💜 Intimacy with a stoma: let’s talk about it!

Life with a stoma doesn’t put intimacy on pause. Whether you’re reconnecting with a partner or navigating closeness for the first time post-surgery, confidence, comfort, and reassurance matter.

Simple steps — like timing pouch changes, finding comfortable positions, and wearing supportive garments — can help people feel more at ease and present in the moment 🧡

At Suportx, we design support garments that help secure the stoma and pouch, offering gentle support so you can focus on what matters most: connection, not worry.

You’re not alone — and intimacy looks different for everyone. 💌

3 in 4 paediatric stomas are formed in the first 6 weeks of life.

When we talk about stomas, people often picture older adults — but stoma surgery can affect babies, children, teenagers, and families of all ages.

Parents and caregivers often face a steep learning curve, balancing stoma care with everyday life. As children grow, their needs change too — especially for teenagers navigating body image, independence, and identity.

Support matters. Compassion matters. Families should never feel alone — and practical help is available. At Suportx, we offer children’s stoma belts designed to provide gentle support, comfort, and confidence for kids at every stage. 🧡

📌 If you’re looking for additional information or support, some helpful UK resources include:

• 📖 Colostomy UK – story/colouring books to help children and siblings understand stoma surgery
• 🐻 A Bear Named Buttony – Young Adult Packs for ages 16–25, full of practical items, comfort essentials, and guidance, teddy bears with button stomas to offer familiarity and understanding
• 🌟 ERIC UK – dedicated to supporting children’s bowel and bladder health

Thank you to the organisations, clinicians, parents, and young people who continue to raise awareness and support one another every day. ✨

🍕 Pizza after stoma surgery? You’re not alone in wondering.

Food confidence can take time after stoma surgery — and yes, that includes everyday favourites like pizza.

There’s no universal rulebook. Everyone’s tolerance is different, and confidence often comes from small adjustments: portion size, toppings, or simply taking things at your own pace. 🧡

Comfort and abdominal support can also play a role in helping people feel more secure during and after meals — because food is about more than nutrition; it’s about enjoyment and normality too.

At Suportx, we support people in rebuilding confidence around food and daily life — one slice (and one step) at a time.

3.5 million people are living with cancer in the UK.
Every 90 seconds, someone else is diagnosed.

Cancer isn’t just a medical diagnosis — it affects confidence, energy, relationships, and everyday life. For many people, treatment can include surgery and learning to live with long-term changes, such as a stoma.

Bowel cancer is the 4th most common cancer in the UK, and early diagnosis saves lives. Awareness, support, and compassion matter — at every stage.

This World Cancer Day, we stand with everyone affected by cancer and honour every unique journey. 🧡

📌 Some trusted resources:
Bowel Cancer UK
Macmillan Cancer Support
Cancer Research UK

Thank you to these organisations for the vital work they do every day to support people affected by cancer. 💜

Hernias aren’t one-size-fits-all — and neither is support. 🧡

From inguinal and incisional hernias to less-talked-about abdominal changes like apronlike hernias, understanding the different types of hernias can help people feel more informed, empowered, and less alone.

This carousel breaks down some common and uncommon hernias and abdominal conditions — because knowledge is often the first step towards confidence and comfort.

💜 Education first. Support always. 🧡
