When a picture gets 190,000 likes on Facebook, it gets them for a reason.
This picture, of Bethany Turner, 23, from Worcester, has been viewed by more than nine million people since she put it on Facebook.
Bethany was fitted with her colostomy bags in 2010 after she nearly died when her bowel ruptured. She was diagnosed with Crohn's disease – which causes inflammation of the digestive system, affecting the sufferer’s ability to digest food, absorb nutrients and eliminate waste – at the age of three.

She told the Daily Mail: "When I came out of hospital and everything finally sunk in, I remember going upstairs into my bedroom and just bursting into tears."
"I’d known a colostomy bag might have been an option but it was always something that I had wanted to avoid. I had a really good cry that day, and since then I haven’t shed another tear - I’ve just got on with it I suppose."
