Hi everyone, I just wanted to share something that I thought was funny. This weekend I hosted a traditional British afternoon tea in my home for 14 women, some of whom I had not seen in years. Well, one of them just discovered that I now sport a colostomy. It was odd in that she could not seem to tear her eyes away from my midsection (similar, I guess, to women who think men talk to their chests, I never had that problem, lol). I am not sure if she thought I might explode in front of her. I was facetiously hoping that Rosie might let one rip as only she can, ala morning bugle call, but the little bugger was silent. Ha. Have any of you experienced this? I found it very amusing. Then again, I can have an odd sense of humor.

If you've had a colostomy or ileostomy, you may experience some common food-related issues.
