Discovering "Ileostomized" - A New Word in the Ostomy Community

This topic is about embracing new and creative terms to describe people who have undergone ostomy surgeries. The discussion began when someone who has lived with an ileostomy for nearly 33 years discovered the term "ileostomized," which was coined by a Brazilian Facebook user. This term was found through Google Translate and was appreciated for its concise and descriptive nature. The originator of the topic decided to adopt this term and share it with others in the community.

Here are some insights and suggestions from the discussion:

1. Many people appreciate the precision of the term "ileostomized" and encourage its use.

2. Variations for different types of stomas have been suggested:
- "Colostomized" for those with a colostomy.
- "Urostomized" for individuals with a urostomy.

3. For a more general term that can apply to all types of stomas, the following ideas were proposed:
- "Stomatized" or "stomacized," though there is some debate over the preferred spelling.
- "Stomized" is suggested as the most generic form.

4. Some humorous alternatives were also shared:
- "Debladderized" for someone with a urostomy.
- "Debumalized," referencing a "Barbie Butt," for individuals who have had a proctectomy.
