Princesses Poop Too

Does having inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) make you feel like a princess? Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are not only painful, serious conditions, but they also carry stigma which leads to patients feeling isolated. Sophia Vicari, the founder of The Princess Promise, is creating a community that challenges the perception society has about digestive disease. Diagnosed with ulcerative colitis while in college, it didn't take long before Sophia decided she needed to work to help others in the IBD community become more comfortable talking about poop. Hear Sophia's disease journey, what it was like for her to be Miss Camden County, NJ, while living with ulcerative colitis, and how she plans to help women with IBD find their inner princess.
