Project Angel Food’s The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation Campus in Los Angeles, Chuck Lorre revealed he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when he was just 22. “When I was a young man, I was really really very ill.
I was severely ill with ulcerative colitis. I weighed about 110 pounds and was told I needed a colectomy,” he said. “I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t know where to go.
I had no money, no insurance. “I managed to find my way to the Cedars of Lebanon, which was a teaching hospital,” he continued. “I was fortunate enough to get an anesthetic-free colonoscopy in front of a classroom of students.” He joked that the experience served as “great preparation for a lifetime in television.” The TV impresario praised the nonprofit for its commitment to dismantling food insecurity for adults and children affected by life-threatening illnesses. “During the pandemic, I learned about Project Angel Food,” he said. “It is a food delivery system tailored to people’s health needs.
I was like, ‘I want to be a part of this because this is personal.’” He said his colitis was put in remission “after about six months on a wonderful nutrition program, and I’ll never forget that – it changed my life,” he said, adding, “It wasn’t Western medicine” that improved his health, but rather, “it was food.” Chuck Lorre talks about his semi-public colonoscopy when he was just 22 years old, at the groundbreaking of Project Angel Food’s The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation Campus.@ProjAngelFood pic.twitter.com/AZ2ueGtO7x Construction of the new $51 million campus — the Lorre foundation donated $10 million — is expected to begin in January and be completed by 2027.
