Hello Sam. Thank you for your enquiry. I do not fit your criteria but thought it would be a useful exercise for me to see how I would go about finding someone who might fit.

One of the problems on a site like this is that the people you want to contact may not be active on here at the same time that you are so it's as well to find alternative ways of identifying them and making contact.

As a result of your question, I went into the 'search members' section and 'general search'. Filling in the details of 'anyone' and the 'UK' I got a list of all those people who dwell in the UK ( You are on the second page!) There are a number of people, including yourself who have put on their profile that they have an ileostomy - so this is one way that you can be actively looking for people who fit your search criteria, rather than asking the question and hoping for replies.

I hope this is helpful to you

Best wishes

After I got my ostomy I found this site and got a lifetime membership. I have had so much help from the core members, things that even the wound care nurses didn't know. If you haven't been through this journey you don't know - only the people that have experienced this first hand truly understand what your going through. The support is enormously helpful getting through this. Afterwards when you start to learn how to deal with this new normal you can begin to help others.  ...mtnman.
