Inner Good has not shied away from the topic of action/extreme activities and adventures when it comes to living with an ostomy. While some resources out there would have you walking on egg shells for the rest of your life, we steer you in a different direction. In fact, a life changing procedure presents all the more reason to live life to the absolute fullest….

While some of you have pledged to cut back on the cocktails as a part of your new year resolutions, you are likely to join in on the libations from time to time. There’s nothing wrong with that, in responsible moderation (of course) and with clearance from your physician. That being said, anyone who was received a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy does need to be…

Excuse the run-on title. It’s a bit literal, but we’re hoping to make a point. For starters, yes, we sell ostomy supplies. But we don’t want to be pigeonholed as that, and that alone. Inner Good is far from a faceless online shop that simply hocks products at a discount for the masses that need them. We’re more than that. Geography also plays a role…

It’s happening again.  You have a building headache.  Can’t focus.  You’re feeling sluggish and don’t have energy for your everyday tasks.  And your kids or significant other is growing increasingly irritating.  What’s wrong with you?  Why does this keep occurring?   What if the answer is as simple as this: you are dehydrated.  You don’t have enough water in your system.  Of course, fixes for…

If you have a child living with an ostomy, you want the absolute best for them. The best physician, support, and overall care. A big part of this care, is their nutrition. Your family doctor, specialist, and/or nutritionist has provided guidance on the matter. You have a dietary regime of healthy foods that your child consumes, but you also know that given the nutritional deficiencies…

The new annum has arrived, and with it a slew of new year resolutions designed to make everyone’s life better. It’s a simple enough concept that requires nothing more than discipline to see success. But all too often these resolutions fall to the wayside. How do you make them stick? It all circles back to setting the right ones. For someone living with an ostomy,…

After the holidays, the word detox is on the tip of practically everyone’s tongue. You’ve indulged in food, drinks, and sweet, sugary, and savoury merriment. With NYE on the way, you likely have a few more days of this pattern pencilled in. Good for you on all of the above. You deserve it! But you’ve also noted that as soon as Ryan Seacrest has signed…

Inner Good’s head office is located in the Lower Mainland of BC. We are surrounded by world class snowboarding, with Whistler Blackcomb in addition to Grouse Mountain and other smaller but no less notable hills and slopes at our doorstep. That means we have first hand experience fielding questions and abating concerns about carrying on with the snowboarding lifestyle after receiving an stoma. While we…

As I shared in a previous post, I used to eat pretty much whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted.  When I was a kid, a teenager, and especially as a young man, Christmas time took this dietary approach to a whole new level.   “Turkey dinner with all the fixings…sure, I’ll have a third helping, mom!”   “Yeah grandma, I have some room for another…

The holidays are here and like many Canadians you’re flying north, south, east, or west to visit (or escape from) family and friends. You’ve packed your Christmas gifts, stocking stuffers, and traditional day-to-day items, but now it’s time to focus on your essentials. If you have recently received an ostomy, you’ll soon find out that an ostomy supply travel bag is an absolute necessity. Adopt…
