Welcome to S3 episode 20! We are facing a treatment change by insurance against Mason's doctor's wishes. It has been a fight with pharmacists, health solutions, and insurance to do what is right and let Mason remain on what is working for him, not what will save money. Our hope is change will happen because step therapy and "try and fail" tactics are heart breaking and so difficult for patients.We are family friendly and want our audience to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.

Welcome to S3 episode 19! How many times have you caught yourself trying to figure out what caused your Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis? There are the scientific ideas, then there is what you can google and find. A lot of people think it is something they did and we are here to tell you to stop blaming yourself. IBD is still a mystery in so many ways but we go over what google AI tells us it is and debunk a lot of the theories with Mason's own journey with Crohn's. We are family friendly and want our audience to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.

Welcome to S3 episode 17! We attended IBD day at Rady Children's Hospital and one of the things discussed were stem cell injections and GLP2 peptides.  We were excited to learn more about stem cells and GLP2 peptides and better understand how they work. We decided to discuss what we learned and share these areas of research that could make a difference how IBD is treated in the future! We are family friendly and want our audience to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.

Welcome to S3 episode 16! We ordered and taste tested 21 different supplemental drinks that are the type used for  liquid diets and supplements for Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis. We tried Boost, Ensure, Kate Farms, Fairlife, and Glucerna. We tasted each one to honestly give our opinions on what we thought. In the second half of the podcast we will go over nutritional details for all the drinks so you can make better informed decisions. At most, we hoped to give some perspective and understanding of what IBD patients go through with having to, at times, use supplemental drinks. We chose these drinks because we have had them recommended to us by doctors, have seen their booths at IBD events, or they were at a store like Costco where you buy in bulk. We are family friendly and want our audience to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.
All drinks were ordered from:  https://www.vitalitymedical.com (with the exception of Fairlife which we got at Target)

Welcome to S3 episode 14! We wanted to revisit a topic that continues to happen to those of us living with or living with someone we love with IBD. Opinions!

Welcome to S3 episode 12! I have noticed that some IBD patients are unaware of the involvement of joint pain and arthritis with IBD.

Welcome to S3 episode 11! We wanted to share a positive story for the holidays about Costco. Besides being an incredible business to work for, they also stood by us with Mason's diagnosis. We go further into how they helped us get Mason's biologics approved when we had run out of options and time. We are so thankful for Costco and how they treat their employees as well as the families of their employees. It is nice to have support with any chronic disease and it is even better when it is a company like Costco who stands by you. We are family friendly and want our audience to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.
