Amber Wallace (Ostomy Diaries)

Patient Leader

Sup Ya'll? I'm Amber! I have Crohn's disease, and had a complete colectomy. I now live life with an ostomy bag, and a HUGE SMILE. I desire to use humor and light heartedness to help educate and encourage other Ostomates. I want my YouTube channel, and other social media platforms to be a place where patients can not only learn, but be encouraged to live their life to the fullest. Life without a colon, and with a bag is pretty rad, and I like showing people that! I love Jesus, people, and queso dip. Check me out on Social Media at "Ostomy Diaries."

I'm Amber! I'm a Science teacher at an Alternative Learning School in Gatlinburg, TN. Making people feel alive and cared for is what fuels me. From my endless poop jokes and laughs, to sharing my heart and tears with a stranger, my passion is loving people, (with queso dip in a close second). I love educating Ostomates through humor and smiles!

Amber works so hard to help encourage everyone she meets. She does a great job sharing educational information for people with an ostomy on YouTube. Her videos help make people smile, and cope with having an ostomy. — Katie
