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.
