What's new in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatments and what's next on the horizon? Dr Peter Higgins, a gastroenterologist, IBD specialist, and researcher at the University of Michigan discusses what's new in IBD from the Crohn's and Colitis Congress meeting in 2019. We talk fecal transplants, healing strictures in the intestines, and the feasibility of custom ostomy products. It's a conversation about cutting edge research on Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis mixed with the practicality of using these treatments in the real world.

Princesses Poop Too
June 11, 2019

Does having inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) make you feel like a princess? Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are not only painful, serious conditions, but they also carry stigma which leads to patients feeling isolated. Sophia Vicari, the founder of The Princess Promise, is creating a community that challenges the perception society has about digestive disease. Diagnosed with ulcerative colitis while in college, it didn't take long before Sophia decided she needed to work to help others in the IBD community become more comfortable talking about poop. Hear Sophia's disease journey, what it was like for her to be Miss Camden County, NJ, while living with ulcerative colitis, and how she plans to help women with IBD find their inner princess.

For this first episode of my limited series, Summer of Activism, I'm answering a question that I hear regularly: how it is that I go to medical meetings such as Digestive Disease Week, Advances in IBD, or Crohn's and Colitis Congress. I give you the answer as well as tips on how patients, bloggers, podcasters, and vloggers can work towards attending these, and other, scientific meetings. Here's a spoiler: it takes dedication to improving the lives of people with IBD, commitment to doing the work consistently, and some professional networking. Find Amber J Tresca at:
