Celebrities with Crohn's and Colitis Disease!! Learning Something New Everyday!
My curiosity has always been aroused by the fact that the necessity for ostomy surgery is no respecter of position or lifestyle. Because we know that this surgery is more common than most would believe, there are probably many people in the public eye who are ostomates.

Among those we could mention in the past were: former Vice President Hubert Humphrey and President Dwight Eisenhower. The late Queen Mother Elizabeth of Great Britain who was over 100 years old before passing away and the late Moshe Dayan, former Defense Minister of Israel.
