您如何被诊断出患有溃疡性结肠炎？

佐治亚州粉末泉的金伯利钩子本来应该与丈夫一起庆祝她的一周年纪念日，但最终将大部分“浪漫”的度假胜过在洗手间中与GI症状作斗争。回到家，她去寻找答案。接受溃疡性结肠炎的诊断将需要一年多的时间，钩子几乎一无所知。胡克斯说：“我没有意识到这种诊断有多严重。”

从字面上看，我被正式诊断出患有溃疡性结肠炎了一年。在诊断之前，我真的真的不理解。我只记得长大了，妈妈会在早上煮早餐。培根的油脂可能使我的胃部不适。因此，我只记得小时候，食物真的不同意我的看法。直到我有了女儿之后。我今年27岁，与丈夫一起一周年旅行，我的肚子就像着火了。你知道，我不能呆在洗手间。我没有享受周年旅行，而是在浴室里抽筋，我不明白。因此，当我回到佐治亚州的亚特兰大时，我和我的GI医生预约了，当时我并没有真正诊断出来。 I was just told to take some milk of magnesia, have the stool sample, and the stool sample would come back normal. So, a lot of running back and forth to the doctor with really no relief. All I knew was that something isn’t right. It literally took a year before I was officially diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. The doctor said, Well, you have this chronic disease. You will have to take medicine for the rest of your life and there is no cure. I did not realize how that would affect me. I didn’t realize how severe that diagnosis was. I was fairly young you know, I was in my twenties. I kind of was like, Okay, I have this disease. The doctor tells me, take medication and I’ll be okay. I had no idea what this symptoms and what life would be like living with a chronic disease. I was clueless.
