Get ready with CCYAN fellow Nathalie Garcia as she shares her IBD diagnosis story and how Crohn’s disease affected her at such an early age.
Growing up, Nathalie’s brother almost lost his life due to ulcerative colitis following a misdiagnosis from lack of medical testing. A few years later, Nathalie began experiencing signs of IBD herself when she was just 15 years old. Because of her family history, Nathalie was tested early for IBD only for the results to come out as inconclusive. At 16, however, she collapsed during her high school cross-country race and was finally diagnosed with Crohn’s disease.
Nathalie dives into her diagnosis journey in her latest video and shares the ups, the downs, and all the relatable moments in between.
