Welcome to episode 24! Today we are talking about one of the triggers of IBD flares, which is stress. We go into a personal story about Mason's diagnosis and how stress could have played a role in his flare at the time. We are sure that you watching will also be able to make your own connections to stress and health conditions. We are family friendly and want kids to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.

Welcome to episode 23! Today's topic is a very popular one about mask wearing. This episode is not about the efficiency of masks or telling anyone what they should do. It is simply to teach understanding of why you will still see some people (in the IBD community) wearing masks. We hope it creates to more respect and a different perspective on why some people are still masking up. We also go into social situations and how we handle them. We are family friendly and want kids to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.

Welcome to episode 22! Grief is a tough subject and a complicated one at times. Crohn's and Colitis is a difficult diagnosis and it is only natural to feel a sense of loss and grief. Going through grief with IBD is very real and in this episode we discuss our own grief with the diagnosis. We also go over not only 5 stages of grief, but 7 stages of grief. We also offer ways to help for those of you who know someone struggling with grief. We are family friendly and want kids to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.

Welcome to episode 21! We wanted to share the story of where the Karmatude Candles originated, how we make them, and how we use them to fundraise. Making candles has turned into something very special for our family and continues to also be a way we can raise awareness for IBD. We enjoy fundraising for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation and hope to continue this business well into the future! We are family friendly and want kids to be involved!

Welcome to episode 20! We have wanted to jump into the top of biologics but it is a lot to talk about. So we did our best to start at the basics in this episode. We discuss (in simple terms!!) what biologics are and the three different classes when it comes to IBD. We go over TNF-blockers, integrin blockers, and interleukin blockers. Hopefully this will help you better understand the basics so once we go into further discussions, it will make sense. We are family friendly and want kids to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.

Welcome to episode 18! Outliers are something we learned about in math but totally works in our episode. Crohn's can vary so much but sometimes the public only will see those who are excelling or living above average lives with this disease. It is important to celebrate everyone though and continue to share our stories to raise awareness. This disease needs a voice and not only famous, wealthy voice. They need to hear each of your stories and respect whatever level you are at. We are family friendly and want kids to be involved!

In this episode we discuss the difficulties of time management, handling work and school, and how we manage our schedules with Crohn's disease.
