In this episode, Tina shares four key insights she wishes she knew when first diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 14 years ago. Tina emphasizes that dietary changes can be hit-or-miss, not all about food, and sometimes medication is necessary despite initial fears. She also discusses the emotional component of living with chronic illness and the importance of self-advocacy and tailoring treatment to individual needs.
Tina talks about:
– 4 things I wish I knew sooner about living with ulcerative colitis
– How diet really affects ulcerative colitis: what worked (and what didn’t) for me
– Medications and UC: what helped, what didn’t, and what I learned
– The emotional side of ulcerative colitis: navigating stress, shame, and uncertainty
