S03_E06 - Let's Talk IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease)
It's not uncommon that the terms IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) get confused. Both have to do with your guts, both have impacted the lives of many in today's society and both could probably be explained a bit more. We plan on getting to both of them, but for starters, in Episode 6 of the show, we're going to take a better look into IBD with the help of Hennepin Healthcare Gastroenterologist, Dr. Jake Matlock!
Dr. Matlock has helped us break down many other GI issues on our show and this time around he'll help us better understand the origins, diagnosis, and treatments of both Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis. How common are they? Are they hereditary? How do they differ from IBS? What can be done to treat them? And what is "The Pill Cam"? When it comes to our guts, there's a lot to know, so come get wise with us!
Got a question for the doc? Or an idea for a show? We're all ears...
