  • Summary

  • Some people with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis can also experience symptoms common in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) like gas, bloating, constipation, or abdominal pain. This episode aims to help patients understand the overlap between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and IBS from both physician and patient perspective.

    Dr. Katie A. Dunleavy from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, joins us to explain how and why the medical components of IBD and IBS can cross paths and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, which includes pharmacological, dietary, behavioral health and other interventions. We’ll hear first-hand from Tina Aswani Omprakash, Patient Thought Leader & Founder of Own Your Crohn's, who shares her personal health journey and offers tips for communicating with healthcare providers and living with a chronic illness.

    Johannah Ruddy, COO and Executive Director of The Rome Foundation, and co-founder of Tuesday Night IBS, shares her patient perspective and highlights the role of cognitive behavioral therapy.
