For people living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the path to pursuing our dreams can look different from that of our peers. Stand-up comedian Dave Piontkowski, lives with not only ulcerative colitis, but also chronic kidney disease. He developed a one-man show called "Three Kidneys, No Colon," which describes his journey with both of these conditions. Dave talks about how and why his comedy actually improved while he was fighting for his life with kidney disease. He also tells us how his comedy is connecting the chronic illness community, but there are some audience members who find it can be too much.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects people from all ethnic and cultural groups. In this limited series, we'll explore how inequalities in the healthcare system affect people from diverse backgrounds.
IBD is still considered rare in some parts of the world, but incidence is increasing. Fasika Shimeles Teferra, MD of Ethiopia describes her journey to a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease. Being a medical doctor, she has been able to make connections in order to help other IBD patients in her country. Patients face stigma, less than optimal care, and a lack of educational resources for themselves and their friends and family members.
Dr Teferra was helping patients as best she could but discovered she needed a bigger platform. She founded a nonprofit, Crohn’s and Colitis Ethiopia, in order to better support Ethiopian patients with IBD.
Find Dr Teferra on LinkedIn and Twitter and Crohn’s and Colitis Ethiopia on Facebook and their web site.

- Inflammatory bowel disease: an emergent disease among Ethiopian Jews migrating to Israel
- Inflammatory bowel disease in Africa: what is the current state of knowledge?

Stephanie Gish, host of the Crohn's Fitness Food podcast, gives the details of her journey with Crohn's disease and IGA nephropathy. Stephanie's Crohn's symptoms began in 2003, but she was initially misdiagnosed with an anal fissure. After being discharged from the Army for medical reasons unrelated to IBD, she went through years of fragmented care, and finally received a Crohn's diagnosis in 2009. Stephanie brought her knowledge of health and fitness to bear in managing Crohn's, but the diagnosis of IGA nephropathy had her changing course and rethinking her approach.

Don't Let IBD Ruin Your Day
About IBD
10/17/17 • 0 min
Did you know that more than 70% of people with IBD have reported bathroom accidents (fecal incontinence)? Did you also know that only around 20% ask for help from their physicians? It’s a sensitive topic, to be sure, which is why I offer advice on how to cope with this problem and how to avoid it in the first place. If you’re struggling with this issue I have tips that you can use today but the best advice is to talk to your doctor about it (and I discuss that also!).
2:53: IBD is not a pooping disease!
3:34: 8AM classes — everyone else hates them ‘cause they’re hung over. You hate them because IBD.
4:28: Contact the student services office at your university about getting accommodations.
5:19: IBD is covered under the Americans With Disabilities Act, which means that you can ask for reasonable accommodations.
6:23: Yeah, I’m gonna come down on coffee and how it affects your digestive tract.
8:18: Not eating/drinking in the morning: how that can be good or bad depending on circumstances.
10:13: Why a lack of appetite can work against you during an IBD flare-up.
12:00: What should come with you when you leave the house?
16:32: Making your IBD emergency kit.
22:40: Vegan Ostomy coping with a leaking appliance in his car at Canada’s Wonderland (I thought he did a full change but actually he was able to change the bag) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55jpoNZCryw
23:19: The mental aspect of dealing with bathroom accidents is probably the most difficult one to overcome.
