About me

Gutalie is about sharing my personal experiences with others worldwide, who might be going through the same journey.

It all goes back to December 2024, when I was first diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis.I finally was relieved to know what is wrong with me, but little did I know, it was just the beginning.

Around seven months later, writing from my hospital bed due to an acute flare up, I am not here to scare you! I am just feeling motivated and inspired to share with you the whole story. It is challenging and overwhelming, but there is always hope.

I am here to share with you how my condition has actually changed a lot in my life (in good and bad ways), what worked for me so far that might work for you too, and what did not.

Apart from sounding professional and presentable, I am here to sound more personal and honest. 
When I fisrt got diagnosied, I knew nothing about the condition, what to do and what not to do. I searched online hoping to find someone with similar expereince, someone to share what does it mean to live with Ulcertive Colitis away from the medical theory and jargons, but I did not find much (apart from reading others expereince on reddit).

I decided to create this website, sharing more about living with IBD.

The gut, It is not just an organ to digest the food, it is much more. It is the second brain of the body, and it can significantly improve or reduce the quality of your life, immunity and mental health! That is why I felt the need to find a space where I talk more about it. So even if you are not living with an IBD, you will find a lot of helpful insight into how to improve our gut health and the quality of our life.
