Recommended Books for Living with a Colon Ostomy

This topic is about finding helpful books for those living with a colostomy. If you're looking for some good reads to guide you through life with a colostomy, here are some recommendations and resources shared by others:

- Phoenix magazine recently featured an article on life after ostomy surgery, which mentioned the book "Holistic Stoma Care" by P.K. Black, published by Harcourt Publishers Ltd in London, 2000.

- Besides books, other valuable sources of information include:
1. Stoma nurses who can provide personalized care advice.
2. Macmillan Cancer Support staff, who offer support and resources.
3. Visiting ostomates from the British Colostomy Association, who can share personal experiences and tips.
4. The Colostomy Association magazine "Tidings," which offers articles and stories from the ostomy community.

- Members have also recommended the following books:
1. "Living with a Stoma" by Dr. Craig A. White, available from Sheldon Press and can be found at Waterstones for around £6.99.
2. "Living Well with an Ostomy" by Elizabeth Rayson, available in Kindle edition.
3. "The Ostomy Book: Living Comfortably with Colostomies and Ileostomies" by Barbara Dorr Mullen and Kerry Anne McGinn, also available in Kindle edition.
