Georgina Elliot says she knew 'nothing about' Crohn's disease before being diagnosed but more people should be educated.

"It's not at all - that's like 5% of the stuff we have to go through.

"I couldn't do things that my friends could do in the sense that I'd go out with them and I'd get drunk with them and have a great time and I'd party but after, it would take the life out of me and I wouldn't be able to function for about two days. Ms Elliot said she has faced a number of events which made her feel uncomfortable, including an incident outside a nightclub where a bouncer would not believe she was carrying a colostomy bag - instead thinking she was trying to smuggle in alcohol.
