OC is not one of the most common diseases, especially in patients who are under 30. At OCF events, I have met many survivors who have been diagnosed young, before they turned 30. I also know of several who were under 20 when they first got sick.

Check out the link below for the list of Easy to Eat Foods. This has many options for patients who are relearning how to eat.

Best wishes with your continued recovery.
