Meet Lori P.!

Bowel Moments

Send us a Text Message.

This week we talked to Lori Plung! Lori has been living with Crohn's disease for more than 40 years and she has been living as fully and as well as possible. She's now been diagnosed with short gut syndrome and so we talk to her about what that is, what it's like, and how she uses TPN to optimize her nutrition and hydration. We also talked to her about how she came to leading a support group in partnership with UPMC and the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation and how that changed during Covid. We spoke to her about providing peer-to-peer support and the importance of community. We had such a great conversation with Lori and talked about so, so much more. I know you'll find Lori to be the ray of sunshine that we did!
