1 Week after Ulcerative Colitis Diagnosis (Thoughts, Symptoms, Diet) | My IBD Journey with UC
Hey - My name is Austin! I was recently diagnosed (Nov 2020) in the hospital with Moderate-Severe Pan Ulcerative Colitis - a form of IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), a chronic autoimmune condition. In this video I will be sharing my thoughts on what life with IBD has been like so far, what my UC flare symptoms have been like since leaving the hospital, as well as how I feel about my diet plan and approach.

I underwent a Sigmoidoscopy Scoping Procedure at the hospital in order to confirm my clinical diagnosis of IBD Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis. In my case, I was unable to receive anesthesia for the procedure, so this video is a "storytime" about my experience of being awake for my Sigmoidoscopy.

In this video I struggle through 5 German Tongue-twisters "Zungenbrecher." The German language is tough, but learning through having fun is always a good philosophy.
The German Tongue Twisters:
Brautkleid bleibt Brautkleid und Blaukraut bleibt Blaukraut
Fischers Fritz fischt frische Fische weil Fischers Fritz frische Fische fischen kann
Der Whiskymixer mixt Whisky weil der Whiskymixer Whisky mixen kann
Die Katze tritt die Treppe krumm
Im dichten Fichtendickicht picken dicke Finken tüchtig

The longest, hardest, and most crazy words in the German language - well, I looked them up online (they are compound nouns fun fact). In this video, I try to pronounce them all for the first time, American accent and all! German language. As an American Exchange Student in Germany for a Year with CBYX, it's always fun to try these German language challenges.

To be fair... IBD Ulcerative Colitis (Pancolitis) is really the bad guy here. However, that is not to say I can't complain about my least favorite parts about being at the Hospital for treatment of my IBD and UC Diagnosis.
