I don't want to waste my surplus ileostomy supplies and would like to donate them if possible. Is there any organisation in london that would collect them?

Hello Picasso.
Try---http://www.colostomyassociation.org.uk
Alternatively, ask your local stoma nurse if she could find a use for them. I know from experience that my local nurse is quite willing to fish out surplus supplies for me when needed and \i feel sure she would know where they would be gratefully recieved.
The last time I had spares I posted them to somewhere in Indonesia but I cannot remember the address.
Best wishes
Bill

Nervous but excited about tomorrow. I have been reading some of the threads here and am brand new to the site. I am grateful to have had the ileostomy so my body had a chance to heal but am truly hoping all goes well with the operation and future.
I have a collapsed disk in my back and sleeping on it for the past 7 months because of the bag has caused me constant daily excruciating pain. I haven't slept through the night and have had so many accidents.
I am so glad I found this site. Gained so much information so I am much better prepared for what happens post operation and what worked for people diet and supplement (fiber) wise. Thank you for that.

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.
