Life With An Ileostomy – Change your bag, not your lifestyle

Welcome to Ostomy, Myself, and I. My name is Jake and I started this blog because all my life I was told to think outside the box… but now it’s time to think outside the bag!

Follow me as I tell my experience of life with ulcerative colitis and now living with a permanent ileostomy. It’s all about healing, accepting, and finding confidence… with a little humor along the way.

My Origin Story

I can’t believe it’s already been over a decade since I was originally diagnosed with UC. I guess time can also fly when you are not having fun too! Check out my story as to how I got to where I am today, happy, healthy, and confident enough to share my story.
