“IBD just makes you poop your pants.” Have you ever had someone tell you that? I have. It was a pretty frustrating(infuriating?) moment. Because IBD is so much more than just shitting. Now, I can only talk about this from what I have experienced. Everyone with IBD experiences problems with IBD differently. My doctors don’t…
I got to meet with Dr. M today. It was my first time seeing him and I really like having him as my new GI. He took the time to answer all of my questions and even write me a letter for flying with my Humira. I have to fly next month for work and…
