@wholemars As a gastroenterologist, I am impressed. Way better than the typical advice my patients get from the Internet!

@Tseganesh_MD Hey!

@sonyagoins1 Don't avoid a dream vacation or business trip because you suffer from Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Whether traveling abroad or here in the States, these tips will come in handy. Check out this resource with great travel tips! https://t.co/HXfaY7X6Gb #IBDconvo

@sonyagoins1 That's exactly what I tell my patients! #IBDconvo

[Aaron Brosam @AaronBrosamMD]

A8: They are related diseases and can be difficult to distinguish, especially if only in the colon. Important to distinguish if possible for meds and surgery if needed.

[Sonya like Tanya 산야 @sonyagoins1]

A8: I was first diagnosed with UC and then later Crohn’s disease. My doctor says I have both. #IBDConvo

@sonyagoins1 @HennepinHC @AaronBrosamMD A4: Seek out trusted sources including those in community. Don’t believe everything you read just because it’s on the internet. Make sure they’re trusted and reliable, as anyone can post and publish whatever they desire and also call themselves a source. Vet sources. #IBDconvo

[Aaron Brosam @AaronBrosamMD]

@Mykl0 @sonyagoins1 Prep can be soooo hard. Glad you made it through! #IBDconvo

[Crohn's & Colitis Foundation - Minnesota/Dakotas @CCfdnMinnesota]

@sslatton @HennepinHC @sonyagoins1 If you have experienced the detrimental effects of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis through a loved one, or by caring for your patients. The best thing you can do is be educated and get involved! Learn how you can get involved...https://t.co/GhSTkRIutx #IBDconvo

@sonyagoins1 A5: I'm very fortunate that I met my husband at the onset of symptoms. We have both grown up w/the disease, if you will. My biggest struggle is I do not want sympathy-one of the reasons its hard to talk about it. Everyone has a struggle. This just happens to be mine. #IBDconvo

[Aaron Brosam @AaronBrosamMD]

@cantcopecrohns @sonyagoins1 And talk to your doctor to see if there are some interventions to help with symptoms. Immodium can be a life saver. #IBDconvo

[Aaron Brosam @AaronBrosamMD]

It can be embarrassing at times and there can be accommodations that are needed. Don't be afraid to ask!

[Aaron Brosam @AaronBrosamMD]

A5: I find that friends and loved ones are a great source of support and being embarrassed gets in the way of really getting needed help. #IBDconvo

[Aaron Brosam @AaronBrosamMD]

@Empoweringpts9 @sonyagoins1 No problem for us!

[Aaron Brosam @AaronBrosamMD]

A5: I find that friends and loved ones are a great source of support and being embarrassed gets in the way of really getting needed help. #IBDconvo

[Sonya like Tanya 산야 @sonyagoins1]

Q5: IBD is sometime embarrassing. How do the diseases impact relationships with friends, spouses, love interests? #IBDConvo

[Aaron Brosam @AaronBrosamMD]

@sonyagoins1 @HennepinHC I often refer my patients to @CCfdnMinnesota for help. They're a great resource! #IBDconvo

[Hennepin Healthcare @HennepinHC]

When preparing, try to eat a low fiber diet for a few days prior to the procedure and drink a lot of water with your prep. Many people find that it’s easier to drink their prep cold. #IBDconvo
