December 10, 2024
•62m
What's the difference between ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease? We talk about them like they're two distinct sides of a spectrum, but there are people who don't have a firm place on that continuum. Amber Tresca talks with Michael Ornelas, host of the "Fine" Dining podcast, about his journey with IBD. Michael was first diagnosed with proctitis, then Crohn's disease, and later, maybe, with ulcerative colitis. Michael shares his experiences with symptoms, treatments, and the impact IBD has on life. But it's not all serious! Michael also talks about his comedy podcast, "Fine" Dining, which encompasses the search for mediocrity in chain restaurants. Maybe an unexpected choice for a project for person with IBD, so they also discuss Michael's unique perspectives on food. Find Michael Ornelas and the "Fine" Dining Podcast at:
