Amazing podcast
Really appreciate the hard work these ladies are doing. Very positive show with great information for people with IBD.
Helpful to Parent of IBD Patient
My daughter was diagnosed with UC five months ago. I’d never even heard of it! No one in our family has IBD or an autoimmune disease. Listening to this podcast has helped normalize her disease and our situation. I love hearing the medical information and updates from doctors on the show. And hearing from everyday people who are living with it, especially ones who were diagnosed as children, is helpful to me as a mom, trying to understand IBD.
I have an hour commute (one way) twice a week, so I’m catching up on older episodes.
Thanks for offering this podcast!
Cheers to Bowel Moments!
This is a must listen for IBD patients! I’m a long-time patient and continue to learn so much from Robin and Alicia and all their guests. The episodes keep getting better and better!
