SURVEY LINK

What topics should our Wrestling the Octopus IBD podcast cover next? 

In this episode, we review the feedback from our recent podcast survey and discuss how your suggestions will help shape future episodes of this podcast - a show we absolutely love recording!

Along the way, I share an update on my treatment with ustekinumab, while Nigel discusses his return to blogging following his recovery from a cystolitholapaxy procedure. 

Most importantly, this episode highlights the value of listening to the patient experience and ensuring that future content reflects the questions and concerns that matter most to people living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. We offer honest conversation, practical information and our own very personal patient reflections.

Topics discussed

  • Steroids in inflammatory bowel disease and their modern role in treatment
  • Azathioprine and combination therapies
  • Small bowel Crohn's disease
  • GLP-1 weight loss medications and IBD
  • Living with a stoma
  • Joint pain and extra-intestinal manifestations
  • Intimacy and inflammatory bowel disease
  • Advocacy, diet and IBS in IBD
  • IBD surgery and patient education
  • Fatigue and pain management

Thank you to everyone who completed the survey and helped shape the future of Wrestling the Octopus IBD. Your ideas continue to guide the conversations, experts and patient stories featured on our podcast.
