Jessica Grossman is a digital marketer, actress and model. She also is a powerful advocate for patients with Crohns disease. She specifically has done so much to destigmatize what it’s like to live with a stoma, which is a surgically created opening that allows stool to exit the body into a bag. Her work with her website uncoverostomy.org has garnered widespread attention and is an incredible resource for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. In this episode, we explored what it’s like to live with a stoma, and what physicians and surgeons can do better when counseling patients who might have or need a stoma.
