Colonoscopy Insights

Send us a text

In this episode, we discuss colonoscopies. We know they are so important for our health, especially those with IBD, but we are always relieved when they are over!  Ashley and Danielle share personal stories about the challenges and discomfort associated with the dreaded prep process and the procedure. 

We discuss:

• our experiences with different colonoscopy preparations, including a new prep that Ashley tried last month. She talks about the pros and cons of taking her prep in pill form
• the importance of planning ahead for a colonoscopy  
• the emotional and physical challenges associated with colonoscopies, and how these procedures are approached a little differently in the US vs Canada. 
• how we have experienced a mix of fear and curiosity during a colonoscopy and the discomfort you could feel after the procedure
• for a lot of patients, medication and nutrition are both important in order to optimally manage IBD

We also celebrate the news that Ashley recently received- that she is in deep remission with her Ulcerative Colits!

This conversation reminds us again that support is so important for those with IBD and other chronic conditions. We wish that everyone could have an IBD BFF and we hope that sharing these experiences helps you feel less alone!
