Introduction
Fittleworth has worked in partnership
with Laura Coster BSc (Hons), HCPC
Registered, mBDA to create this
nutritional guide.
Laura is an NHS and private practice
Dietitian who sees patients one-to-one,
and presents in nutrition workshops
around the UK for companies and
charities. She has held four Senior
Dietitian posts in the NHS and has
considerable experience working with
patients who have undergone stomaformation surgery.
The information provided is intended for guidance alongside
any professional medical advice from your healthcare team, and
is not a substitute for any tailored advice you are given. The
advice given here covers the main dietary queries of those with
stomas/ostomies and includes urostomies, jejunostomies,
ileostomies and colostomies.
There are multiple types of stoma and sometimes people need to
adjust their diet, in the short term or for longer. Remember that
not everyone with a stoma needs to change the way that they eat
and drink. It is always best to discuss with your Doctor, Specialist
Nurse or a Registered Dietitian before making dietary changes.
