Man living on chicken and rice raises awareness about disease

A man living on chicken and rice due to his illness wants to raise awareness about his disease.

James Wilson, a TikTok star, only discovered last year that he suffered from Crohn's disease, a lifelong condition in which parts of the digestive system become inflamed. He was diagnosed in February 2022, and immediately took to TikTok to post about his experience and try to raise awareness about the condition, Manchester Evening News reports.

Now, he is left unable to eat anything other than chicken and white rice without risking stomach cramps and digestive issues.
