I had #ostomy surgery ~17 years ago, but various health conditions (chronic and acute) have arisen since then. It's important to keep in mind that medical changes as well as aging may impact your ability to self-manage your #ostomy routine; whether it be now or in the future.
Aging or medical changes may someday affect your ostomy self-care. UOAA has a new checklist to help you understand the components of ostomy care and determine if you may need help.

The need is great. The support can be non-existent in some parts of the country or by specialty. Let's all lend a hand. Diversity and inclusion will benefit us all! #GITwitter #MedTwitter #Medstudenttwitter

Today is #WorldIBDDay! I want to raise awareness about the mental health impact of #Crohns and #ulcerativecolitis.
We now recommend screening for depression/anxiety in our patients with #IBD.
Ask about it and don't suffer or let others suffer in silence.

An advisory note on these videos about sex and #IBD... they are very direct in their approach. If explicit detail offends you, they may not be suitable for you.
Mr Williams isn't known for pulling his punches (neither am I!), which is exactly why he was the right interviewee! ⭐️
Talking sex in #IBD.

Recently learned a bit about #HERVs and now I'm curious 🤔 Do these "viral fossils" have any potential use in relation to #phagetherapy ? Maybe @chngin_the_wrld can weigh in on this
Have you been diagnosed with a rare or unusual condition in addition to your #IBD (Crohn's or Ulcerative Colitis)? Have you been told your conditions are related? If so, share your experience with @bottomlineibd
I'm on the hunt for people with Crohn's or ulcerative colitis who have unusual or rare other conditions that have been proven to be associated with their #IBD.
If this is you and you are happy to chat, please DM me. Thanks.

Binging #ER ...watching Season 8, Episode 22 "Lockdown" is surreal. The illogical/irrational response from those held in temporary #quarantine in an effort to keep them safe and prevent the spread of an infectious disease to the rest of society is eerily familiar😔
