My life with the chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction

The story of Veronica

My name is Veronica and I’m 38.

I suffer from chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction since I was six but the path to diagnosis was long and difficult.

I was subjected to numerous surgeries intestinal resection and because of the difficulty to eating it has always very hard to maintain a normal weight.Some time I had to resort to parenteral nutrition.

Five years I have a permanent ileostomy that was my salvation and I started a new life even if many problems remained.

Scientific research is the only hope so is very important to raise awareness of this rare disease
