In episode #53, Joanne speaks with her friend, Krista Watson. Krista has had an incredible health journey and shares: Her lifelong battle with digestive issues, leading to a diagnosis of Crohn's & Colitis in 2012. How despite heavy medication, her condition worsened and in 2013 she underwent surgery to remove over 3 ft of her bowel. What she was feeling after the surgery failed within 3 months & her Crohn's flared (resulting in her being put on even heavier drugs with more intense side effects.) As if extreme digestive issues weren't enough, Krista shares how her health began to further deteriorate as she simultaneously began to experience debilitating headaches, confusion & an inability to think + perform daily tasks. The day in January, 2017 when she was formally diagnosed with a brain tumour. What it's like to undergo brain surgery & how the diagnosis was the wake up call she needed in order to take responsibility + control of her health. The many lifestyle & dietary changes Krista made along her road to recovery. The importance of having a strong support system & how her husband, Darren + the backing of family/friends was instrumental in her healing journey. The unexpected benefits of changing her lifestyle, including weight loss (which was never the initial goal.) Krista and her husband have now EACH lost over 120 lbs! This is a super inspiring episode & you'll love hearing Krista's full story of healing & transformation!

How we cope, living training & eating with Crohn's colitis whilst managing living with a jPouch and an Ostomy.

Crohn's and us, a little about who we are, where we have been and how we hope to help, we both have IBD and live with a Jpouch or an Ostomy. Here is part of our story

Today’s guest is Meghan Cary Brown. At 27 years old, Meghan has lived 10 years with active disease, 13 years with indeterminate Crohn’s/Colitis, and 3 years with an ostomy. But IBD can’t stop her. In that same time, she’s also gotten married, graduated college, lived in four different states, travelled abroad, adopted a zoo of fur babies, and–most recently–landed her dream job as a Patient Coach. As an 8th grader in Middle School, Meghan began having her first bouts of severe diarrhea and IBD symptoms, but doctors dismissed her as just being a nervous child. After about a year, she received a Crohn’s diagnosis and started down a path a trying various prescriptions from oral medications, Methotrexate injections, and biologics. Too sick to stay in school, she was home schooled for the next few years. During the summer before her sophomore year, she finally responded to Remicade and went into remission. With her parents’ encouragement and being concerned about the possible side-effects of biologics, she went medication free and did well for about five years with the help of a homeopathic doctor. But, during her junior year of college, life and stress caught up and she was back in a Crohn’s flare. Meghan shares what it was like to start back at square one and how she got through the struggles and kept a positive mindset. Then, after finding relief with Entivyo for a few years, in 2015, her doctor told her she had high grade dysplasia–a precancerous colon. Coming to terms with the fact that her best option was to remove her colon and rectum, she chose to have the surgery for a permanent ileostomy. Looking back, she has no regrets and the ostomy has changed her life for the better. Listen as she shares what the recovery process was like–including the initial learning curve she battled with caring for her ostomy–and the importance of talking with someone who’s been through the same thing. Now serving as an advocate for IBD and as a patient coach for 11 Health, she shares what it has been like to not only help others, but how it has also helped herself heal. She encourages every IBD patient to reach out and talk with someone, to take a step back and not worry about the little things, and to take care of yourself every day.
