Today, I am joined with Craig who has Ulcerative Colitis and is passionate about raising awareness for IBD. He was diagnosed when he was 18 years and it took time Craig to talk to people about his journey he was diagnosed. Last year has created a page called driven to fight Uk where he raises awareness for IBD Crohn's disease and ulcerative Colitis with his sports car and has some great stickers on it with great recognition. Craig shares his diagnosis experience and what it could mean to have surgery or a stoma bag one day. Craig talks about his covid-19 experience too, he says it was a tough experience and wouldn't want it again. Craig gives out some great advise about IBD, we also discuss colonoscopy experiences, blood in stools, what we can or can't eat. Craig says he is looking to get his racing car license this year and also mentioned he was close to getting misdiagnosed with IBS instead of IBD, which many people in the IBD community will know you can get misdiagnosed, it is hard to get a diagnosis.
There are not many people i have seen that raise awareness of IBD, Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis well done to Craig, Thank you for sharing your story and some quality advise in this episode!
