Abstract
This summative article has been written using literature based on the impact that diet can have on the management of stomas in the community. With more focus on ileostomy care, this article aims to provide information on the types of stomas and surgeries to create an overview of intestinal anatomy, how stoma formation may affect nutrient absorption and guidance on the management of stoma output, hydration and nutritional status based on current evidence. The strength of the evidence base behind the literature will be critically analysed and recommendations for future research made.
