National Ostomy Awareness Day is the first Saturday in October every year.

Girls With Guts is a registered non-profit that works support and empower women with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease & ulcerative colitis) and/or ostomies through the building of sisterhood and self-esteem.

Some of us struggle to deal with all of the "baggage" that comes with an ostomy and that is okay. Some of us are empowered by our ostomy and that is okay, too.

Today, we bare our ostomies proudly. Whether you have an ostomy for IBD-related surgery, cancer, FAP, a birth related injury or any other circumstance - we are here for you!
