Growing up with colitis: Hannah's fight for survival at 16
About this episode
In this episode of the Talking Sh*t podcast, I speak with Hannah, who shares her personal journey with ulcerative colitis. Hannah was diagnosed at age 16.
She discusses her experiences with diagnosis, treatment, and the impact of surgery on her life. She battled colitis for four years until she couldn't take it anymore. Her colon had to go.
Hannah reflects on the challenges of living with IBD as a young adult, the importance of building trust with doctors, and the misconceptions surrounding the disease.
She emphasizes the need for empathy and understanding from friends and family, and she shares her hopes for the future of IBD treatment.
