Send us Fan MailSara Herring lived with stomach pain so long she thought it was just life, then at 21 she finally got the word that changed everything: Crohn's disease. Sara joins us for a raw, funny, and unexpectedly tender conversation about what it's like to be dismissed as a kid, spend months chasing negative tests, and reach the point where you're writing goodbye letters because you're not sure you'll make it. Sara walks us through the turning points of her IBD journey, from the relief of being believed to years of medication trial and error that end in a surgery she never expected. We talk about how chronic abdominal pain can become so “normal” you don't even notice the ways you're bending, bracing, and shrinking your life around it, and why learning to describe pain can be a powerful tool for self-advocacy with doctors. Then we shift into the practice that helped her reclaim her life: a bucket list book that's part scrapbook, part journal, part proof that small moments matter. We dig into presence over perfection, creativity, therapy, boundaries with social media, and the complicated truth about remission, including the guilt that can come with feeling better while others are still in the fight. If you're searching for Crohn's disease support, IBD mental health tools, or hope that doesn't ignore reality, this one's for you. Subscribe for more real talk, share this with someone who needs it, and please leave a rating and review so more people in the IBD community can find us.Let's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

It can feel confusing when it comes to figure out food intolerances in IBD - but there is so much more to the conversation that isn't really talked about much online like....⏰ Timing - if you are getting symptoms immediately after eating a food (like bloating or racing to the bathroom) it might not actually be the food itself - but it can still be data that we can use to drive nutrition recommendations.

Eine besonders schwere Phase begann, nachdem er auf Empfehlung seines Arztes Dinkelvollkornbrot gegessen hatte. Daraufhin stellte er seine Ernährung auf die carnivore Ernährungsweise um. Zwar besserte sich sein Darmzustand dadurch zunächst etwas, gleichzeitig traten jedoch starke Bauchkrämpfe auf. Auch mit magerem Rindfleisch wurde es nur teilweise besser. Schließlich stellte sich heraus, dass er weder Rindfleisch noch Milchprodukte verträgt. Heute ernährt er sich vor allem von Eiern und Geflügel mit Olivenöl, isst aber auch wieder Reis, Kartoffeln und Weißmehlprodukte – und verträgt all das problemlos. Innerhalb von nur sechs Monaten konnte er 20 Kilogramm zunehmen, darunter auch Muskelmasse, und hat heute wieder ein funktionierendes Magen-Darm-System. Dadurch kann er seinem Beruf wieder voll nachgehen. Ahmet ist auf Instagram unter @aymt1717 oder per E-Mail unter asyilmaz@gmail.com erreichbar. _______________________________________________ Fleischzeit ist der erste deutschsprachige Podcast rund um die carnivore Ernährung.

Constipation is a huge pain in the ass...  and if you're not having at least 1 to 2 bowel movements a day, you're on the "constipation spectrum." Long term opioid use, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and the newer weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro all slow your gut and put you on the same path that killed Elvis Presley.  So does chronic stress, mold exposure, parasites, and the kind of inflammation that drives most cases of IBS, Crohn's, and ulcerative colitis.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Defining constipation What actually causes it Why doctors miss the root cause The risks of long term constipation  How to fix constipation naturally   If you have Crohn's, Colitis or Diverticulitis, be sure to check out my second podcast: Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally.   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Send us Fan MailFive years post J-pouch surgery sounds like a finish line, but our bodies do not read the brochure. We're together in person for a live catch-up with our favorite recurring guest and IBD Registered Dietitian, Stacey Collins, and we get real about what changes with time and what still blindsides you when you live with a J-Pouch after IBD.We talk through the wins that matter most day to day: more capacity, less urgency, and the quiet joy of doing normal things without panic, like waiting in line, taking long road trips, hiking, skiing, and traveling. Then we dig into the stuff patients whisper about but rarely get warned about, especially gas pain. We break down what it feels like, why it can block emptying, what actually helps (yes, including “toilet yoga”), and why travel, altitude, fasting, dehydration, carbonation, and food additives can make symptoms spike.We also cover the scary gray zones: when symptoms feel like a Crohn's flare but turn out to be SIBO, why antibiotics may be part of J-pouch life, and how to rebuild the gut microbiome afterward with food you can tolerate. Finally, we get blunt about the “surgery is curative” myth, the need for ongoing monitoring (iron deficiency anemia, B12, folate, fatigue), and what better post-op care should look like, including pelvic floor physical therapy and honest expectations at 3, 6, and 12 months.If you found this helpful, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review.

There's a famous plague known as "the dancing plague" that infected over 400 people in Europe, over 500 years ago, and medical historians are still unsure what caused it. However, there are some strong suspicions that it was a mold realted illness due to what old can do to humans. It can affects your skin, eyes, nervous system, brain, immune system and even destroy your gut; and mold is in up to 70% of US homes, causing problems for you, right now.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: The dancing plague of 1518 What happened to the town's people What may have caused the dancing plague How mold might be making you sick today How to heal from mold illness   If you have Crohn's, Colitis or Diverticulitis, be sure to check out my second podcast: Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally.   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Host Dr. Russell welcomes returning guest Dane Johnson to discuss resilience through gut health, Crohn's and colitis as autoimmune inflammatory bowel diseases, and why cases are rapidly increasing, which Johnson attributes to combined factors like toxins, pathogens, stress, EMF, poor sleep, and ultra-processed foods, including glyphosate exposure. Johnson shares his history of severe illness, failed medications, near-death complications, and subsequent self-empowerment that led to helping others find individualised “your answer, not the answer” by combining conventional, holistic, mental, and spiritual approaches. They emphasise restoring microbiome balance rather than eradication, caution against low-quality supplements and biohacking hype, and stress choosing trustworthy, integrity-driven providers and products with third-party testing. Johnson highlights probiotics (especially Natren single-strain powders), mentions RDLA and indigo naturalis, and offers free consultations via Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle.00:00 Welcome 00:51 Dane's Health Journey02:03 Autoimmune Epidemic Rising03:38 Food Toxins and Glyphosate05:34 Beyond Avoidance to Healing06:59 What Balance Really Means08:20 Diet Limits and Biohacking10:13 Supplements Done Right13:16 Trust Integrity and Value16:10 Doctors Research and Advocacy17:43 How to Choose What Works19:04 TikTok Fixes Debunked19:40 Probiotic Quality Matters20:20 Authenticity Over Hype20:48 Natren Single Strain Approach23:15 RDLA For Colon Inflammation24:55 Indigo Naturalis And Evidence25:49 Stress Mindset And Balance27:27 Rebuilding Resilience Long Term29:35 When Sick Requires Zeal30:36 Connection Over Cravings32:03 How To Work With Dane34:27 Natural Path Closing ThoughtsYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com#resilience, #burnout, #intuition

Colitis ulcerosa, oft als UC bezeichnet, ist eine chronisch-entzündliche Erkrankung des Dickdarms, die weltweit immer häufiger auftritt, auch bei Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen. Für viele Patientinnen und Patienten beginnt sie mit subtilen Warnzeichen wie Bauchbeschwerden, Durchfall, Müdigkeit oder Spuren von Blut im Stuhl. Im Laufe der Zeit können sich diese Symptome zu schmerzhaften und beängstigenden Schüben entwickeln, die Ausbildung, Karriere, Familienleben und das emotionale Wohlbefinden beeinträchtigen. Obwohl die moderne Medizin bemerkenswert wirksam darin geworden ist, diese akuten Krankheitsepisoden zu kontrollieren, bleibt UC hartnäckig bestehen. Bei den meisten Betroffenen kehrt die Erkrankung nach Phasen scheinbarer Erholung zurück, manchmal ohne einen offensichtlichen äußeren Auslöser.

What we know about health and medicine today didn't come from clinical trials. In fact, most of what we know today came from hundreds of years of accidents, tregedies, crazy stories and stubborn people who refused to let their ideas die. In this episode, I'm going to share 4 of the biggest stories from medical history, what we learned and what that means dfor your health today. These stories include a fabric merchant who built his own microscopes, a doctor who watched food digest through a hole in a man's stomach, a cook who infected and killed dozens of people without ever feeling sick, a scientist who discovered antibiotics by accident, and a doctor who drank a glass of bacteria to prove his colleagues wrong. In this episode, I'll take you through over 300 years of history, and what every chapter of it means for what's happening inside your gut, and your body, right now.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: How 300 years of medical history shaped what we know today 4 stories of tragedy, inquiry and death that changed medicine forever What each of these stories means for you today Powerful lessons you should understand from these stories   If you have Crohn's, Colitis or Diverticulitis, be sure to check out my second podcast: Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally.   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Send us Fan MailThe word “surgery” can feel like a threat when you're young and already worn down by Crohn's disease. Michael Morgan, author of *The Secret Life of Crohn's*, joins us to talk about being diagnosed at age 10, cycling through medications, and living with the kind of urgency that forces you to plan every minute around toilets, school schedules, and the fear of being noticed. We get into the part people don't always see: the constant anxiety, the shrinking world, and how much mental energy IBD can steal long before anyone calls it mental health.Michael also shares what it was like to hear ostomy surgery discussed as a teenager, the misconceptions that fueled his fear, and the moment he realized life on the other side could be bigger than the life he was trying to protect. We talk about the adjustment period, confidence building, and why so many people with ostomies describe freedom and relief once their disease is under better control.From there, we dig into practical realities: asking schools for accommodations, using tools that make bathroom access easier, staying on top of Crohn's management even after major surgery, and navigating rare symptoms like inflammatory disease in the mouth. And yes, we go deep on travel with an ostomy, including packing supplies, hostel bathrooms, and the small “tricks” that make big adventures possible.If you're facing a big treatment decision, supporting a child with IBD, or trying to make your world bigger again, this conversation will meet you where you are.

Thyroid Symptoms, Normal Labs, and Root Causes: Dr. Kevin Smith on Hashimoto's, Functional Medicine, and Chronic Conditions | Conversations with a Chiropractor Episode Description In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Dr. Kevin Smith, a functional medicine practitioner and founder of the Chronic Conditions Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dr. Smith specializes in helping people better understand the root causes behind chronic health problems, including thyroid dysfunction, gut issues, autoimmunity, chronic pain, inflammation, peripheral neuropathy, insulin resistance, and other complex conditions. This conversation focuses heavily on thyroid health, especially the frustration many people feel when they have symptoms of hypothyroidism, but are told their labs are "normal." Dr. Smith explains why thyroid symptoms can involve far more than a simple TSH reading, and why many cases of hypothyroidism may be connected to Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune condition that affects the thyroid. Stephanie and Dr. Smith talk through common thyroid symptoms, including fatigue, hair loss, weak nails, digestive changes, sleep issues, brain fog, mood changes, infertility, and skin problems. They also discuss why a deeper look at the body may include the immune system, gut health, liver function, blood sugar, cortisol, sex hormones, inflammation, food sensitivities, unresolved infections, and nutrient status. The episode also explores the difference between managing symptoms and looking for the underlying reasons a person may not feel well. Dr. Smith shares how he uses detailed intake forms, comprehensive lab testing, metabolic questionnaires, food sensitivity testing, lifestyle changes, nutrition, supplements, and retesting to help patients better understand what is happening in their body. This conversation is educational and is not a replacement for personal medical care. If you are dealing with thyroid symptoms, autoimmune concerns, medication questions, or chronic health issues, work with a qualified healthcare provider who can evaluate your individual situation. In This Episode, Discover Common symptoms of hypothyroidism and low thyroid function Why "normal labs" may not tell the whole story The connection between Hashimoto's disease and thyroid dysfunction Why Dr. Smith describes many thyroid issues as immune system issues How the brain, pituitary gland, thyroid, liver, gut, and carrier proteins all play a role in thyroid function Why every cell in the body depends on thyroid hormone for energy regulation How chronic inflammation, blood sugar issues, cortisol, sex hormones, food sensitivities, and infections may affect thyroid physiology Why comprehensive lab testing may reveal patterns missed by basic panels The difference between food allergy testing and food sensitivity testing How lifestyle changes, nutrition, supplements, and retesting fit into functional medicine care Why patients may need to take a more active role in understanding their health Stay Connected & Explore Learn More About Dr. Kevin Smith & Metabolic Solutions: Dr. Kevin Smith / Metabolic Solutions: https://www.metabolicsolutions.net/ Free 2-Minute Metabolic Health Assessment: https://www.metabolicsolutions.net/metabolic-scorecard/ Chronic Conditions Center: https://www.chronicpa.com/ Connect with Conversations with a Chiropractor: Follow Us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@ConversationswithaChiro Follow Dr. Stephanie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wautierwellness Email for show-related inquiries and sponsorships: drstephaniewautier@yahoo.com Want to be a guest on Conversations with a Chiropractor?

Why does chronic diarrhea continue even when testing is normal?In this episode, we walk through a case of microscopic colitis and how to approach persistent gut symptoms that don't respond to standard treatment. We break down what microscopic colitis is, why it's often missed on routine colonoscopy, and how it can present as long-standing, non-bloody diarrhea.We also explore how medications like PPIs, NSAIDs, and SSRIs may contribute, and how overlapping factors like dysbiosis, inflammation, and even constipation can complicate the clinical picture.In this episode, we discuss:- Chronic diarrhea and when to look beyond IBS- What microscopic colitis is and how it's diagnosed- Why colonoscopies can miss key findings- The role of medications in gut inflammation- Treatment approaches, including budesonide, bismuth, and bile acid binders- Functional medicine perspectives on persistent gut symptomsMusic provided by Blue Dot.

Send us Fan MailMedical care can be doing everything “right” and you can still feel wrecked, anxious, and trapped in a never-ending cycle of symptoms, appointments, and fear. That gap is where GI psychology lives, and it's why we wanted Dr. Anna Katherine “AK” Black. AK is a licensed clinical health psychologist at GI Psychology, with a focus on gut-brain therapies, trauma-informed care, and medical fatigue in chronic illness.We get into what clinical hypnosis actually is (no stage tricks, no mind control) and why gut-directed hypnotherapy has decades of research behind it for GI conditions. AK explains the gut-brain connection in plain language, including how stress can hijack the system, how visceral hypersensitivity turns the volume up on sensations, and why you can't just tell your gut to “calm down” with conscious thoughts alone. We also talk about how fear and pain overlap, and why techniques that shift the nervous system toward parasympathetic regulation can change real physical symptoms.Then we name the thing so many people feel but rarely hear described: medical fatigue. If you've ever canceled yet another appointment, struggled to keep up with meds and procedures, or felt judged as “noncompliant,” this conversation puts words to that burnout and offers practical next steps. We also cover trauma-informed care, what providers can do with better language and screening, and why integrated teams work best. AK shares resources and explains the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation partnership group that combines community with skills like CBT and hypnosis.Subscribe for more real talk about living with IBD, share this with someone who needs it, and please leave a rating and review so more people can find the show.

Send us Fan MailA Crohn's diagnosis at eight can shrink a kid's world down to fatigue, fear, and the nearest bathroom. Nicole Thornton took that same reality and built something bigger: community, advocacy, and a blueprint for how young people with IBD can lead without pretending it's easy.We talk through Nicole's early health journey and the moment Camp Purple Live in New Zealand changed everything by giving her friends who truly understood Crohn's and colitis. From there, Nicole shares how she petitioned the New Zealand Parliament at just 12 years old to improve toilet access for people with inflammatory bowel disease and other urgent health needs, and how that effort evolved into the “I Can't Wait” campaign where businesses voluntarily welcome patients to use staff bathrooms. We also dig into the everyday stakes behind “bathroom access” and how stigma and public accidents can shape mental health, confidence, and relationships.Nicole also brings a global lens from her work with the International Federation of Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis Associations (IFCCA) youth group, including what she's learned about medication access, healthcare funding, and how different countries support young patients. Finally, we get into why she's studying nursing, how small acts of care can change someone's life, and what it takes to balance advocacy, school, work, and chronic illness without burning out.If you care about Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, chronic illness advocacy, bathroom accessibility, or patient leadership, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a rating and review so more people can find the show.Links: Camp Purple Live- Crohn's & Colitis New ZealandIFCCA- Youth GroupArticle on Nicole's NZ parliamentary effortsStory on CCNZ on Nicole's trip to Brussels  Let's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

Send us Fan MailA lot of IBD news sounds like it should change your care tomorrow and then… nothing changes at your next appointment. We wanted to close that gap, so we invited back Dr. Victor Chedid and Dr. Iris Wang from Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN for a Research Rroundup that's honest about what's exciting, what's early, and what still has major caveats for real people living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.We dig into emerging data on GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide and why several retrospective studies are turning heads with signals for fewer hospitalizations and less steroid use in IBD patients. We also get specific about the “who should not use this” question, including risks for people who are underweight or have disordered eating concerns, and why multidisciplinary support with an IBD dietitian can matter. Robin also raises a practical angle many patients care about: whether GLP-1 medications could help slow gut transit for high ostomy output or pouch output, and what makes insurance approval so challenging.From there, we talk breakthroughs that could reshape the long game of Crohn's care: fibrostenotic Crohn's disease and strictures. An antifibrotic drug targeting intestinal fibroblasts is showing early promise, and we walk through what a phase 2 trial result really means, plus why it can still take years before a therapy becomes available in clinic. We also explore the surprising two-way relationship between sex hormones and the gut microbiome, what that could imply for symptom patterns, and why microbiome testing and “fix your gut” products often outrun the evidence.We end with what makes us hopeful over the next five years: better biomarkers, precision medicine, and AI in gastroenterology, paired with a clear warning about bias and why ChatGPT-style tools can confidently generate misinformation.

Send a textYour baby is bleeding, no one has a clear answer, and you're expected to make high stakes decisions while running on zero sleep. That's the reality Andrea Potvin lived when her daughter developed bloody stools at five months old and was ultimately diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at just 10 months old, a form often described as very early onset IBD (VEO-IBD).We talk through the winding road to diagnosis, the crushing pace of pediatric hospital life, and what it's like to try medication after medication while your child becomes dangerously anemic. Andrea shares how her family kept pushing for more opinions, searched for doctors with deeper IBD experience, and stayed data-driven with notebooks, symptom tracking, bloodwork, and stool tests. We also dig into diet therapy, including how they implemented the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) in a staged way and why monitoring inflammation markers like fecal calprotectin still matters when things look “better.”Andrea also explains why they added functional and integrative care, what functional stool testing showed, and how mental health support became essential for the whole family. Then we get practical about the everyday stuff: school lunches, restaurants, birthday parties, and teaching a five-year-old how to advocate for her own food needs without feeling isolated. That journey eventually led Andrea and her husband, Nick to start Moon & Co Wellness, their wellness brand built to help other families feel less alone.Subscribe for more real talk about IBD, share this with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more families can find these stories.Links: Moon & Co Wellness on InstagramComparing and Contrasting Therapeutic Diets for IBD- GI Nutrition Foundation Information on VEO IBD- Children's Hospital of PhiladelphiaLet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

Send a textEver been told your pain is “just a flare,” even when your labs look calm? We sit down with Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist Dr. Xiao Jing (Iris) Wang to unpack why symptoms can linger after inflammation is under control—and what to do about it. From constipation myths to the real mechanics of bloating, this conversation reframes gut discomfort through muscles, nerves, and breath, not just meds.Dr. Wang breaks down pelvic floor function in clear, memorable language. Learn how the puborectalis sling preserves continence, why years of urgency or “holding it” can hardwire a constant clench, and how that leads to straining and incomplete emptying. She shares practical paths to diagnosis without over-reliance on expensive tests, smart ways to find qualified pelvic PT, and simple at-home tactics like an optimized toilet posture, the “anti‑Kegel,” and biofeedback fundamentals. We also explore why J‑pouch patients need their own testing norms and a different definition of “normal.”Then we tackle bloating. Groundbreaking research shows many visibly distended bellies aren't full of excess gas—the diaphragm is pushing down while the abdominal wall pooches out. Dr. Wang demonstrates how diaphragmatic breathing can retrain this pattern and why yoga, gentle twists, and abdominal massage move trapped gas better than most medications. Finally, we zoom out to the brain. When the gut's “fire” is out but the alarm keeps blaring, neuromodulators, gut-directed hypnotherapy, and virtual reality can close the pain gates. You'll hear how VR helps patients navigate bathroom anxiety, tolerate unsedated procedures, and feel safer in their own bodies.Finally we talk to Dr. Wang about the genesis of her children's book called "Boo Can't Poo." It's a humorous story about a constipated ghost named Boo and his efforts to get his bowels back on track. It's a great read for parents who are working to potty train their toddlers but also for all us to re-learn how to poo! If you've wondered whether your pain is real when scans look fine, this is your validation and your roadmap.

Send a textWhen your scope looks great but your day still falls apart, something's missing. We sit down with Dr. Dawn Beaulieu, a Vanderbilt IBD specialist certified in functional medicine, to unpack a root-cause approach that complements biologics and brings relief where patients feel it most: sleep, fatigue, bowel consistency, and energy.We get specific about what functional medicine actually is—science-based, holistic, and individualized—then trace how Dr. Beaulieu integrates it into a busy academic IBD center. From the “functional medicine tree” and Five Rs to team-based care with dietitians and social workers, she shows how nutrition, hydration, and nervous system training shift the gut-brain axis. We talk real-world food strategies that work for sensitive guts, why ultra-processed ingredients and dyes upset the microbiome, and how to ramp fiber without misery. She shares outcomes from Vanderbilt's group programs, where patients improved quality-of-life, sleep, and fatigue in about twelve weeks, with some showing lower fecal calprotectin.We also tackle supplements with nuance: which nutrients many IBD patients actually need, how to choose third‑party tested brands, and why you can't out-supplement a bad diet. Dr. Beaulieu sets clear lines on when medication is essential for moderate to severe disease, then explores where GLP‑1 drugs may help overweight patients alongside standard care. Access matters too, so we highlight ways to find certified functional medicine providers, piece together a local team, and use tools like HRV training and Nerva to build daily resilience.This is a grounded, empowering roadmap for anyone stuck between “remission” and “feeling well.” If the goal is fewer flares and more life, these are the levers you can pull today—without abandoning the therapies that work.

In this episode, Tina sits down with Dane Johnson, founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle, to break down the real differences between IBD and IBS and why confusing the two can keep people stuck. They dive into the emotional weight of chronic digestive symptoms, the fear around food, and what it truly means to “heal your gut.” From popular diets like SCD and AIP to digestive enzymes, peptides, and biohacking tools, they explore what actually helps.
