Our Short Gut Journey
Empowered by Clara’s strength and determination, we’re sharing our story. From diagnosis to today, read our Short Gut journey from the beginning.
Short Gut, So What?
Everyone’s path is different, no-one is the same. We’re sharing our story to give hope that a diagnosis is not a definition of a child.
Every child has a chance to change the world.

“We had no idea what lay ahead. There was nothing on Google that told me what family life with Short Gut meant. But not taking this path wasn’t an option. ‘Short gut, so what?’ we thought. It’s time to write that story”
