We're ringing in the new year with a great episode! This week we talk to Dr. Bhaskar Gurram! Dr. Gurram is a pediatric gastroenterologist specializing in IBD at Children's Medical Center Dallas and UT Southwestern. We talked to him about the genetics of IBD and what we know about it from the current research. We discussed Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) and it's role in treating C.Diff. We also discussed C.Diff in general and how to treat it as well as general health maintenance for people living with IBD (especially kids). Finally we talk about the language that's used in IBD care and how medical professionals can ensure that they're using patient-first language to help patients feel more successful and as truly part of the decision making process. 

Dr. Gurram is a treasure and we so enjoyed our conversation with him! Enjoy!
