Meet Sharan K.!
Manage episode 367903781 series 3373390
This week we spoke to Sharan K.! Sharan lives in the UK and is the creator of the Crohn's Babble Instagram account as well as the Director of Digital Engagement at the South Asian IBD Alliance! We spoke to her about getting diagnosed and navigating her Crohn's in the UK's healthcare system. We talked to her about how challenging the system could be at times being of South Asian descent because of language barriers and lack of understanding around how the diet information may translate to her family's cuisine. We talked to her about finding information and community online and how that helped her when she was living with an ostomy. We also discussed the importance of self-care and how she helped to form IBDesis- which is a Facebook group for people of South Asian descent living with IBD- and how that prompted the formation of the South Asian IBD Alliance.
