Of the 150 podcasts I subscribe to, 66 are currently inactive. One the one hand, it’s not difficult to open a podcast feed, but on the other hand, that means shows often go away with no notice.

Who has seen Alien: Romulus? Who is Dan O’Bannon? And what does Alien have to do with #IBD? I take you back to the beginning of the franchise to explain. aboutibd.com/2021/04/07/ali…

An #IBD patient and I were talking about being young women and underweight. People made statements about my body and my diet when I was malnourished from #UlcerativeColitis. When I was no longer underweight, nobody said anything. I don’t know what it means. It’s just interesting.

I don’t think it’s a good thing that when I search for “specific drug name + prescribing information” the first result is a paid placement for a competitor. I think that could be confusing to patients.

TVs in waiting rooms are a menace. Do patients say they like it? It creates a loud and chaotic experience.

🌟 A great review is huge for small podcasts! 🌟 I appreciate every #AboutIBDPodcast review. If you listen but haven't left a review or rating, doing so in your fave app helps me keep creating episodes! Plus, consider it for other small shows you like, they also need the love! 💜

Some oncologist on Fox News just said “irritable bowel disease.” I can’t.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dr Leybelis, and I think patients should jump at the chance to take advantage of this offer!

Good question! I’m always asking people what resources they use, so please vote and spill!

It's not always clear what sets off an #IBD flare-up. For years, my flare-ups of #UlcerativeColitis seemed to be seasonal. But was it the weather? Or related to a thing that happens at the same time each year? I dig deeper in my latest blog at About IBD: aboutibd.com/2024/09/03/und…

NEW blog! I was recently called out for minimizing my experiences in favor of others. 😆 Part of it may be that being understood as a post-surgical #IBD patient has not been easy. Here’s what showing up for an endoscopy over the years has been like for me: aboutibd.com/2024/09/09/its…

Here’s what I’m gonna say: Outpatient surgery is a horrible experience, and takes advantage of the unpaid labor of family and friends.
