• Welcome to Crohn's Forum, a support group for people with all forms of IBD. While this community is not a substitute for doctor's advice and we cannot treat or diagnose, we find being able to communicate with others who have IBD is invaluable as we navigate our struggles and celebrate our successes.

Famous & inspirational people with IBD

There was a recent discussion concerning Steve Redgrave's success, despite having UC ( and diabetes !) which seemed to provide some assurance, and maybe even inspiration, to others with IBD. So I thought famous people with IBD might make for an interesting thread and perhaps provide encouragement for some of us when feeling down

I came across these websites

I must admit I don't recognise all the names but I'm sure many others will :)

The Queen Mother is in there, which must have been a bummer considering the lovely food she will have been offered, but I don't think she will have had to 'perform' much in her later years

Does anyone else think of the triumphs of others to help them remain positive?
What other 'celebrities' cope with IBD in their everyday life?
 
You're welcome :)

Maybe if we add them when we find out we can have a jolly good chat about how we could do what they do ;)
