Found this link. Quite interesting, but there must be more out there.

http://www.ostomy.evansville.net/celebrity.htm

I'm particularly interested in those with Ostomy bags. If anyone has any more info I'd appreciate it.

I heard that Bob Hope had a bag, too.

Shannon Doherty was a new one on me, I hadn't realised she had it. Also, I remember the lady on Fame acadamy doing funraisers for Crohn's and colittis society functions.

Quite an amazing link... and quite inspiring in some ways. Some surprises in there too!

I don't think all of them have ostomy bags. I know David Garrad doesn't. I also think Shannon Doherty doesn't either.

for those of you mentioning shannon doherty...

the site is not just listing celebs with ostomy bags, it's also listing celebs with IBD... like shannon doherty, anastacia, etc those more popular celebs who clearly don't have an ostomy bag, happen to have crohn's or colitis.

It's amazing what you can find when you google... here's a list of celebs with colostomies:

Napoleon Bonaparte.......???????!!!!!!!!

I dread to think what that looked like, I'd say there were many "Stickey" issues with his pouch back then

merrywidow · 06-17-2009, 04:33 PM

can you imagine what the pouch looked like in them days? no filters or skin coloured soft outers. sharon xx

kello82 · 06-18-2009, 04:42 AM

HAHH guys thats why he always had his hand tucked in his coat. he was holding his ostomy pouch on! duh!!

*shudders* at the thought of a pouch from back in the day

danman · 06-18-2009, 12:00 PM

Good connection Kello, I hadn't thought of that....

AvsGuitarist · 06-23-2009, 01:57 AM

Maybe that's why Napolean was so pissed off all the time eh!?

Fernando Pisani (Edmonton Oilers) was just diagnosed with UC. I'm an avid hockey/NHL follower so I found that pretty crazy.

Also I know Theo Fleury and Kevin Dineen don't have bags. Fleury was a great hockey player too. He was a hard core alcoholic though.

Great link!

Ataraxia · 06-29-2009, 03:54 PM

Damn, the Queen Mother has one?! :O

I knew about Mike McReady from Pearl Jam having Crohns. I am a BIG fan of theirs! In fact, I was supposed to be going to se them play tonight but wasn;t up to the trip. Anyway, I see people like him as an inspiration.
