Mandeep Singh, 23 Year

Mandeep Singh, a 23-year-old, faced a challenging battle with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), a chronic condition that affects the digestive system. IBD is an autoimmune disease, which means the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues—in this case, the intestines. This leads to inflammation, severe digestive issues, and can also affect the patient’s mental health due to the constant discomfort and uncertainty of their condition.

Understanding Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

IBD can manifest in two main forms: Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Both involve inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, causing symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, and weight loss. Many patients, like Mandeep, experience flare-ups that can severely impact their quality of life, making even simple tasks like eating or going out in public difficult.

In Mandeep’s case, his condition not only caused physical discomfort but also emotional and mental distress. This is often the case with chronic illnesses, where the burden of long-term suffering can lead to feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and depression.

Mandeep’s Medical History

Mandeep went through:

• 2-3 endoscopies
• 1 colonoscopy
• Multiple ultrasounds
• Visits to several gastroenterologists
• Various medications

Despite these efforts, his condition worsened, causing severe symptoms like blood and thick mucus in his stool. Mentally, he reached a point of despair, even contemplating suicide.

A Turnaround in Health

Under the guidance of Dr. Raghav Thukral, Mandeep’s condition improved:

• No more blood or mucus in his stool
• Improved digestion of foods like chicken and eggs
• Better mental health and overall well-being
