Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and indeterminate colitis) can affect more than the intestines. One of the potential complications is perianal disease, which affects the area around the anus (the bottom). This includes fissures (a tear in the anal canal) and fistulas (an abnormal connection between two organs or an organ and the skin). To find out how these are managed and what treatments are being developed, the IBDMoms talk to David A. Schwartz, MD, who is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition at Vanderbilt University and the founder and Director of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. Plus: hosts Brooke and Amber talk about why they are exhausted with the internet challenges that are part of today’s teen culture.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and indeterminate colitis) is a disease of young people. When patients are diagnosed as children or teens, they are cared for by their parents and pediatric teams. The transition to taking care of themselves and moving to an adult gastroenterologist needs to take place with intention. Stacy Dylan, co-founder of Connecting to Cure and mom to a son diagnosed with severe Crohn’s disease, gives tips and tricks on making the transition easier. Plus: hosts Brooke and Amber talk about what makes them melt down while traveling.

People living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and indeterminate colitis) may experience body image issues such as body dissatisfaction and body dysmorphia. Weight gain, weight loss, surgery, and having a baby and how they affect body image in IBD are among the topics the IBDMoms cover with University of Michigan gastropsychologist, Dr. Megan Riehl.
