Listen now
Description
Ashley and Rebecca from The Crohn's & Colitis Dietitians talk about all things IBD-related. On this episode, we talk about our different experiences with IBD and how it's important not to compare ourselves to others.  We touch upon the "IBD scaries" and talk about how we work through times when we are worried and trying to figure out the cause of our symptoms.  We also talk about how we're wired to connect and how we view belonging and connection.   Rebecca talks about her current worries around her IBD medication and how she works to accept her situation and how she copes with those fears.  Ashley discusses her fear response when she visits the doctor and how she deals with that. She also has apprehension about upcoming travels, what will be safe to eat and how she would cope if she has unexpected symptoms.
