Fighting for her gut: Melissa’s relentless battle with ulcerative colitis
Season 1 Episode 1
In this first episode of the Talking Sh*t podcast, we speak with Melissa, who shares her personal journey with ulcerative colitis, from her diagnosis at age 46 to her current state of remission.
Doctors wanted to remove her colon. Melissa refused. We discuss the challenges of navigating the healthcare system, the importance of finding the right specialist, and the various treatments Melissa underwent.
The conversation also touches on the mental and emotional aspects of living with IBD, the impact on relationships, and the significance of lifestyle changes in managing the disease.
