You’ve just been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Now what?

Being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. In You Don't Look Sick: Quick and Dirty Tips for Surviving Ulcerative Colitis, author and ulcerative colitis veteran AW Cross gives you a first-hand, non-medical perspective about what to expect from your illness and how to get through it with your sanity (and your favorite underwear) intact.

Through a unique blend of practicality and humor, you’ll learn how to:

•Cope with the physical consequences and emotional impact of ulcerative colitis
•Pack a survival kit and leave your bathroom with confidence
•Dress, eat, and have sex
•Deal with healthcare professionals and enjoy your stays in the hospital
•Endure poop jokes and use social media responsibly
•Put on your big boy/girl pants and deal with it

Whether you’ve just been diagnosed or struggled with UC for years, if you’re determined not to let your illness define you, this book is for you.

If you’d rather wallow in self-pity, have no sense of humor about your illness, and hate kittens and babies, DON’T BUY THIS BOOK!

AW Cross is a former scientist and agriculturalist-turned-author and blogger. She was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2009, and since then has run the gamut of IBD from ileostomy to j-pouch before being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2016. Intended to be humorous-but-pragmatic guides, her Quick and Dirty Tips for Surviving series was written as a response to her personal experience with her condition and what she felt was a lack of positive and practical day-to-day advice for patients.
