"I just didn't want it to be true, I just wanted to be normal," Billie Anderson remembers of the day she learned all 5ft of her large intestines were to be removed.
Around a year after the university student was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2017, she underwent the invasive procedure known as a colostomy.
And like every one in 500 people in the UK, she now lives with a stoma bag which collects waste outside her body.
Billie soon found a network of people who could support her online and uses #NoColonStillRollin to share how she adjusted to her new body and learned to talk about everything from sex to stretch marks.
