Diseases and Complications
While UCVlog mostly focuses on inflammatory bowel disease, IBD is just one of many digestive diseases. In addition to full-blown diseases, people often experience a variety of complications due to treatment or other health issues. Some of these issues we have experienced ourselves, some we have not.
If you have a digestive disease other than IBD and have told your story through video, please email Dennis@UCVlog.com or Nadia@UCVlog.com.
