Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that primarily affects the colon and rectum. It belongs to a group of conditions known as inflammatory bowel diseases, which also includes Crohn's disease. In ulcerative colitis, the inner lining of the colon and rectum becomes inflamed and develops tiny open sores, or ulcers, which can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and weight loss.Living with ulcerative colitis requires immense courage and bravery due to the physical and emotional challenges it presents.   Ulcerative Colitis Rabbit Set Includes 1x Super Soft Rabbit - measures 57cm (22 inches) from tip of ears to toes 1x Sturdy Cotton Tote Bag - measures 38cm x 33cm (15in x 13in)    Symbolism: Intestinal Symbol on the Belly for Inflammation Purple for UC Awareness Geometric Shapes in the Ears for Tenesmus Stress/Feelings IMPORTANT NOTE Regarding the design of our Plushie Dreadfuls. We take these topics seriously. That's why our design team only creates plushies related to issues with which they have direct experience. In cases where our team does not have direct experience, we assemble an external team of experts to help guide our creative process. In addition, we use Crowd Design to engage a wide range of voices via platforms like Instagram and Facebook. We gather and respond to feedback from our audience - many of whom have direct experience with the issues we're exploring. And while we strive to represent as many aspects of a particular issue as possible while avoiding stereotypical representations, we hope you understand that plush toys as an artistic medium do limit the full expression of a particular issue to those things that can be crafted in fabric and stitching.  Ulcerative Colitis Rabbit is Copyright of Mysterious LLC and is exclusively available at plushiedreadfuls.com Plushie Dreadfuls is a trademark of Mysterious LLCBeware of imitations and copycats
