So glad you reached out! I can’t imagine how you must be feeling right now; I’m sure your mind must be swimming at times as you adapt to this new diagnosis and try to figure out what life is going to look like now. I’ve had ulcerative colitis for about 24 years at this point, and it’s definitely a journey. Two sources that are very helpful are the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation’s website, and the new Crohn’s and Colitis for Dummies book (not that you’re a dummy; just the name of the series of books 😊). These can help answer a lot of questions you have with your new diagnosis, and can also help connect you with support groups. We’re here for you as well!
