Amber Tresca & Ulcerative Colitis

Welcome back to That’s So Chronic! Today I was able to sit down with Amber Tresca from the AboutIBD podcast to talk about her diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. In this episode Amber talks us through her diagnosis of UC, the effects not having insurance had on her level of care, the decision to go through with J-pouch surgery, why she does the work that she does, and some excellent advice for anyone out there who has just been diagnosed with a chronic illness. If you want more of Amber (don’t blame ya!) make sure you check out her podcast AboutIBD, her website aboutibd.com and over on social media (instagram @about_IBD, and facebook & twitter @aboutIBD) The link to find out more about IBD Moms is here: ibdmoms.org And don't be afraid to reach out - you can find me over on instagram and tiktok: @thatssochronic Thank you for listening.
