Leona's Crohn's Life

Hello everyone and welcome to my channel my name is Leona I have had a complex form of Crohn’s since 2000 years. I have a 15 cm oesophageal stricture, an ileostomy, gastrostomy (feeding tube that goes into my stomach), small bowel adhesions, and a 14-year-old perianal wound. Battling with Crohn's has also taken a toll on my mental health and I now suffer with depression and extreme anxiety.

But I am much more than a chronic illness though I am cat owner, equestrian, bookworm, pc gamer, and paranormal enthusiast Despite not being to eat normally due to dysphagia I love to cook and bake. 

I don't just want to raise awareness about Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Mental Health Issues, I want people to feel like they are not battling alone and to also show them that they can still have a life despite having a chronic illness.
