Gut Feelings - by The Crohn's & Colitis Dietitians™

Hearing from Ashley and her team has been really helpful to better understand IBD and the process to getting tested, treatment and dietary needs. Appreciate you for doing this for the IBD community!

When I was first diagnosed in 2005, a fellow Crohnie shared a book with me about what to expect now that I had a diagnosis. It scared me to death! All this time later, I don’t think I’ve read the whole book from cover to cover! I wish I had a podcast like this when I was lost in the testing and diagnosis period and looking for safe resources (the best advice I ever got was not to believe everything I read on line!). It is so wonderful to have this podcast as a resource, even for a warrior of 18 years, but best of all, it helps to not feel alone, to have a community, and to hear what other IBD patients have to say. Better yet, these are Dieticians with IBD! That has clout with me after dealing with doctors who only want to prescribe drugs rather than treating me as a whole person! I have been looking for a resource like this for a long time! Thank you so much for the real topics, honest dialogue, and the building of a supportive community!

This is the first time I felt validated in my experience of having ulcerative colitis (besides talking to my husband & therapist) I simply don’t know anyone in my personal life who also has UC, and listening to you both helped me feel heard and understood in a huge way. Thank you for being part of my healing journey 💗
