Just found a couple of YouTube channels that have to do with stomas and colostomies. The first one is Hannah Witton, next is Lets Talk IBD , the third is The Kavalier, and last is Shield Heath Care. All are very informative but I like the Hannah Sutton. She definitely covers more female subjects but it has general information about ileostomy and having a stoma. Look them up they are worth your time and trouble.

This site has been a blessing for me in learning how to cope with and navigate this journey as an ostomate. I have a colostomy as a result of a perforation in my colon since May of this year. I don't know yet if it will be permanent or reversible. The people on here have provided me with so much advice and information about living with an ostomy that I don't think I could get anywhere else. You all have given me hope and a place to come to for support. I still struggle with acceptance, but know that it will come if I am patient. Patience has never been my strong suit! Also, I love all the humor, although it really pissed me off when I first came on here. Thanks to all of you.
