Restroom Access and IBD: An Uncomfortable Issue!

There have been many time during my trials of potty training twins where a restroom has been denied or inaccessible. Kids often give you very little warning and it can be "hit or miss" whether you make it to the restroom in time. While it can be comical after the fact this is a problem that many IBD patients face every time they go out into... Read more Chevron

A Whole Different World

In my last Sharepost I mentioned that my husband and I were going to take some time off and go on a road trip around the West. Well, 18 days, 4 states, and 3,644 miles later we're home.

I Have IBD, My Husband Doesn’t

It may seem like a funny title, but this week I’m going to talk about how IBD has affected my relationship with my husband. I guess this is in my mind because we’re about to embark on a two-week road trip, and it just shows how far we’ve both come in learning to live with my gut.
