The Bowel Chronicles

From Endless Struggles to Active Living: Stevie’s Subtotal Colectomy Journey


Listen Later

In this inspiring episode of The Bowel Chronicles, I sit down with Stevie, a 23-year-old powerhouse who hasn’t let a lifetime of bowel challenges hold her back. Diagnosed with a functional bowel disorder, slow colon transit, and a redundant colon, Stevie endured years of laxatives, hospitalisations, and treatments before undergoing subtotal colectomy stoma surgery in October 2024.


Now thriving on the other side of surgery, Stevie shares her journey—from the struggles of daily discomfort to embracing life with renewed energy. As an active football player and avid walker, she proves that stoma surgery isn’t the end—it’s a whole new beginning!


Tune in for a candid, uplifting conversation about resilience, health, and finding freedom beyond chronic illness.
