I brushed my teeth and my pouch fell off. I kept brushing and cracked a joke!
I farted out my stomach in front of a date and said it was a loud diesel truck.
With an ostomy, I also left my bag at an unmentioned location. I joked about jury-rigging with tape and did it haha take care everyone
Right, Alex! No one should ever discuss their ostomies when their teeth are purple! 🤫

Hi,
Not blowing my own trumpet or anything, but I was at the healthiest I had ever been prior to getting UC symptoms. I was eating very healthy and exercising 6/7 days. I'd love to know if any lifestyle factors affect UC, but I suppose I'll have to wait until they figure out what causes it.
I've been trying to occupy myself by being in contact with friends often, but some days I am really not in the mood and find it hard to drag my mind away from what ends up being a mountain of thoughts. I suppose it's all part of the learning process and I'm sure it'll happen less with time. This website has been great so far. It's great to be able to write this sort of stuff down and chat with people that understand what's going on. For that, I thank everyone on this website.
Thanks,
Hamish.
How did your pouch fall off while you were brushing your teeth?
