Brave Annie Jenkins, 30, has uploaded a series of revealing pictures alongside an emotive post calling for more understanding of people who need to use a stoma. Annie, who had her own bag fitted after suffering from a paralysed colon, says she is currently awaiting further surgery, but is now desperate to raise awareness of what she described as an "invisible illness." And her moving message on social media has now been shared 38,000 times and attracted hundreds of comments praising her for her bravery in speaking out.
