From Chronic Illness to Surfing in Bali: Elizabeth’s Inspiring Journey with IBD and Stoma Life

In this episode of The Bowel Chronicles, I sit down with Elizabeth, a 40-year-old nutrition coach currently living her best life in Bali. Elizabeth opens up about her 25-year battle with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), navigating both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. She shares her transformative experience of undergoing stoma surgery in 2019, followed by a subtotal colectomy and proctectomy (Barbie butt surgery).

But Elizabeth’s story doesn’t end there. We dive into her incredible journey of embracing life post-surgery—moving to Bali, rediscovering her love for surfing, slowing down, and pursuing her passion as an entrepreneur. From coaching clients to creating her IBD-friendly recipe book Delicious, Elizabeth is proof that a diagnosis doesn’t define you—it can be the beginning of a new adventure.

Tune in for a powerful conversation about resilience, wellness, nutrition, and living fully despite chronic illness.
