Charlotte's Art for Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction

Charlotte Smith is raising money for Guts UK Charity

Art for Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction · 29 May 2021

Guts UK is the charity for the digestive system. Our guts have been underfunded, understaffed & undervalued for decades. Guts UK’s work leads to earlier diagnoses, kinder treatments & ultimately, a cure, through funding research, raising awareness, and providing information.

Story

Hi, I have decided to raffle pieces of artwork to raise money for guts UK charity as it is the main charity that supports my condition sphincter of oddi dysfunction. For six years I have suffered relentless pain, become disabled and gone through many operations in the hope for a cure.  I have had apx 35 botox procedures, had my gallbladder removed, sphincteroplasty, sphincteroctomy, plexus blocks, feeding tubes and now I have just had surgery again for a stomach pej! I am coming to terms with not ever getting better. I want to create awareness of my condition as it’s such a complex speciality in hospitals most doctors have never heard of it, making it hard for people to get diagnosed and treated appropriately. For therapy I use art, so it seems to be the easiest way for me to make charitable money. 50% of all my art raffles money shall help guts uk make awareness, train staff and and buy equipment.
