Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease and My JPouch Journey

By: Suzanne Lafleur
  • Summary

  • My name is Suzanne Lafleur, and I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis when I was 23 years old. At 33, I went through 4 major surgeries to remove my large intestine, and now I live my life with a JPouch. If you don’t know what I am talking about, I invite you to follow me to learn and understand. Living with these autoimmune diseases is not easy. Together, let's change that. Let’s build a community of support instead. To my fellow JPouchers or ostomates, join me in spreading knowledge through open conversation. Please email me at suzannellafleur@gmail.com to share your story.
