Witnessed powerful and much needed conversations last night. We discussed bridging the patient provider gap by breaking free from stigmas & avoiding assumptions and bias by listening to our patients. Grateful to @saia_ibd @MondayNightIBD @colorofgi for this insightful evening!

#IBD peeps - check #VitaminD in #IBD?

Probably you/we check it too much - I stopped a long time ago.

🔴early speculation on low #VitD is association NOT causation in #IBD

💥#VitD testing is overused - don’t take my word for it - check this @NEJM study👇🏾

⚠️ IV→SC often increases trough levels, and for many stable patients that’s fine and may even be advantageous.

⚠️ But this study argues for a more nuanced message:

Switching to SC is not a universal strategy to improve inflammation control; it’s most reliable when residual inflammation is low and PK isn’t unfavorable (clearance not high).

Had the pleasure of meeting Dr Navidi at DDW this year and loved learning more mind gut connection through this episode. Keeping an eye out for their new therapeutic IBD group program to launch! #IBD

[About IBD (Amber): Writer, Advocate, Podcast Host @aboutIBD]

We had more fun than we should for such a weighty topic! Dr Navidi made with the goods, and if you're struggling to find therapy or get your insurance to pay for it: he has some important information for you!
Check it out on the YouTubes! https://t.co/OQiOSZu7pM

Sharing a glimpse of one of my passions. I feel so blessed to have gotten the opportunity to plan and host a Narrative Medicine Art Gallery alongside my beloved team. It was a wonderful night spent celebrating art, poetry & music 🫶

Love the point made here to be cautious when assessing ferritin levels as it is an acute phase reactant. It being normal/ elevated in IBD does NOT rule out IDA

⚠️Remember Ferritin increases during IBD🔥
🔹IDA in IBD: if Ferritin <30 ug/L & no inflam or <100 if 🔥
🧪 Ferritin >100 & TSAT <20% ➡️ACD
🧪 Ferritin 30-100 & TSAT <20% ➡️ IDA + ACD

🔹IDA & ACD are most common, often overlap
🔹MOAs: Chronic🩸loss, malabsorption,⬇️erythropoiesis, Fe sequestration
⚠️ IDA correlates w/IBD🔥
🔹Check B12 & B9 deficiencies
🔹Do not forget folate Supp. with SSZ & MTX
