In honor of World IBD Day, I bring you a list of some celebrities (in no particular order) that have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis. This is a subject near and dear to my heart, as I also have Crohn's disease!

Celebrities... they're just like us!! 💩

I had expected a much different look from Chuck. Is he on the market? 👀

With all that sitcom gold, I get it.

Anyway, I come from a family that is very free about poop-talk, and I always have to suss out with new people if there's room for a throwaway comment about 'a good go' or that we will pretend that accidentally escaped farts come from the pets.

I also love to see how quickly food impacts my eh.. bathroom visits? Like, if my dad hears that things haven't been that easy, I get prunes, dates, bean dishes etc to take home, with satisfying pot results the day or two after.

This comment reads like a letter written by a first class passenger aboard a luxury liner to a friend back home in Victorian England. I’ve never seen poop and its conveyance discussed so charmingly.

Definitely didn't know that about Mike McCready, but will look out for it when watching live footage now.

I have a bunch of autoimmune issues and I have IBS. Lots of trips to the hospital as a teenager for constipation. I hate it all so much, also because it's socially so awkward. It changed, nowadays it's mostly diarrhea and bad cramps.

Indeed it is.

Yes it is. I miss my life before my diagnosis.

It's something about getting the right bacteria in to make sure that the environment improves, it's not like literally get someone else's poop injected. It's also still discussed how effective it is; I think one has to keep up with using regular donations as well.
