In today's episode of the It Takes Guts Podcast I touch on the second meaning behind the name "It Takes Guts". You see, along with about roughly 3 million Americans I've been diagnosed with the invisible, hidden disease: IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). For those who've never heard about IBD here's a little info for ya:
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a term for two conditions (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) that are characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Prolonged inflammation results in damage to the GI tract.
Not many people understand IBD - it is a largely hidden disease, and one that causes stigma, fear and isolation for those who live with it. It is thought that many people with the condition go undiagnosed and suffer in silence.
I invite you to listen to my own personal journey of battling IBD where I get real about the symptoms, the emotions, the struggle, the hope and the healing that's given me my life back.
