Pregnant people with #IBD are still being told to discontinue meds at some point or are given the runaround (ask your OB, ask your MFM, ask your GI...then around again).

Then they ask their questions in a Facebook group.

Instead, let's share this summary ⬇️: don't stop rx!

On #AboutIBDPodcast Ep 150, meet Abri, a somatic psychotherapy student. She explains:
🚥 Signals of stress

Every social media platform, even LinkedIn, wants users to create content directly in the app. That's to keep everyone there. This doesn't benefit creators. If TPTB decide to nuke your account one day: what then? Creators: be aware & take steps to keep content under your control.

Such sad news.

Incredible (and heartbreaking) to hear the stories of managing difficult IBD in the absence of drugs beyond sulphasalazine. These doctors and patients are heroes and they need the global IBD community to fight for them.

On Saturday I tripped over a power cord and almost took a header into a sound board. It occurs to me today that this would be a fitting way for me to go out. 😂

Thank you, Brennan Spiegel, MD, MSHS! I hope we see more presentations like this and patient/clinician partnerships at medical conferences in the future! #EBMed

“How physicians can be better advocates for their patients” - A critical topic that rarely comes up at medical conferences. Thankfully, at today’s #EBMed GI conference, patient advocate About IBD: Amber-Writer, Journalist, Podcast Host takes center stage with Aline Charabaty, MD, FACG, AGAF to offer advice and best practices.

Thank you, Dr Sleiman! 💜💜💜 #EBMed

It feels a little cheeky for me to give busy clinicians more things to do and think about! But in the long run, advocating for your patients — individually and collectively — is ultimately how we help people heal and how we change systems that are not serving any of us. #EBMed
