This week we talked to Registered Dietitian, Amalia Karlin! Amalia experienced symptoms very similar to UC but she struggled to get a diagnosis.  Eventually her symptoms got to be so severe she had to have a colectomy and now lives with an ostomy. After that she decided that she as going to devote her career to helping other people living with ostomies to maximize their nutrition and live their best lives. We also talked to her about life with an ostomy, the healthcare system in Canada, and experiencing pregnancy with an ostomy. She has a very dramatic story but we think you'll love meeting her as much as we did
