Omma on Culture, Faith & Life with a Stoma | Beyond the Pouch S3 EP4

Can culture and community shape the way we experience life with a stoma? How do you navigate cultural expectations, faith, and conversations around illness? And what does Ramadan look like when you’re living with a stoma?In this episode, Omma (@ostomateforlife) joins us for an honest conversation about culture,  faith and living with a stoma. We talk about observing Ramadan with a stoma, making personal decisions around fasting, navigating religious expectations alongside medical advice, and letting go of guilt when fasting isn’t possible. Plus, we explore the importance of representation and how to handle questions or curiosity about stomas and IBD in social and cultural settings.Follow us for more:Instagram: @eakinostomy & @respondltdFollow our hosts Ant & Rachel: @ibdlife & @gutsy.mum
