Danielle Gulden

Danielle Gulden is a mom, wife, advocate, comedian, speaker, ulcerative colitis patient and permanent ileostomate.

Danielle has had ulcerative colitis for over 32 years. After going through just about every IBD medication available, going to the bathroom around 25 per day, and having a toilet installed in her car, she finally kicked her diseased colon to the curb in 2007. After high-fiving every nurse, doctor, and surgeon on the way to the operating room, she had a full proctocolectomy with end ileostomy. Her ostomy (and her stoma named Stella) saved her life and restored her quality of life!

In 2015, Danielle, along with her best friend and fellow IBD warrior and ostomate, Joe Teeters, founded Double Baggin’ It. Together they use their humor, wisdom, and stories to connect with and support other people living with ostomies and inflammatory bowel disease. They believe in the power of humor, advocacy and awareness!
