The Phoenix Magazine

The Phoenix magazine is the official publication of the United Ostomy Associations of America. Subscriptions are a major source of funding for the UOAA to help improve the quality of life of people who have, or will have, an intestinal or urinary diversion. It has been published continuously since Winter 2005 by Ian Settlemire.

The Phoenix magazine shows you how to live with a colostomy, ileostomy, urostomy or continent diversion (j-pouch, kock pouch, etc.). From preventing leaks to ordering ostomy supplies to dating and intimacy, in-depth articles written by medical professionals, authors and ostomates show you what works and what doesn’t to lead a full and rewarding life after ostomy surgery.
