You GUT to know all the facts first! - Yes crohn's and colitis affect the gastrointestinal tract but it is not just a one organ/system disease. - It is a myth that IBD only affects the gut. - While IBD does affect the gut it can also cause problems outside the gut and these are called extraintestinal manifestations. - People with IBD can have skin, eye, cardiovascular and joint problems because of their IBD. • • • • • #thegrumblinggut #radiographer #crohnsdisease #ulcerativecolitis #microscopiccolitis #inflammatoryboweldisease __________________ Instagram/Facebook/Twitter/YouTube: @thegrumblinggut Disclaimer: Information provided here is for educational purposes only and not intended to replace the advice or the services of trained healthcare professionals or be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Believe me I understand making diet changes can help you achieve remission BUT this is not the same as a cure! - It is a myth that diet/food can cue Crohn's or Colitis - It is thought however that diet could be a contributory factor in the cause of IBD, however there is not enough evidence to prove this. Diet/food can not cure IBD as there is currently no cure. While some people find relief from avoiding certain foods and have achieved remission through diet changes this is not the same as being cured. • • • • • #thegrumblinggut #radiographer #crohnsdisease #ulcerativecolitis #microscopiccolitis #inflammatoryboweldisease __________________ Instagram/Facebook/Twitter/YouTube/TikTok: @thegrumblinggut Disclaimer: Information provided here is for educational purposes only and not intended to replace the advice or the services of trained healthcare professionals or be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Are you like me? - Even the tiniest little twinge in my stomach my mind goes racing to the worst possible scenario! - I've learnt to both trust and not trust my gut! Most of the time it's a false alarm but still I think it's always best to listen to your gut if you have Crohn’s or Colitis. - Simply to avoid becoming really ill or identifying one of the following complications before it gets too serious: - 🔹Abscesses 🔹Fistulas 🔹Strictures 🔹Perforations 🔹Obstructions - Have you experienced any of these? • • • • • #thegrumblinggut #radiographer #crohnsdisease #ulcerativecolitis #microscopiccolitis #inflammatoryboweldisease __________________ Instagram/Facebook/Twitter/YouTube/TikTok/Pinterest/Tumblr: @thegrumblinggut Disclaimer: Information provided here is for educational purposes only and not intended to replace the advice or the services of trained healthcare professionals or be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment (at The Gut Health Hub) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM7r88PjYQj/?igshid=68w4ctipsm8y

CANCER is a scary word. - When I heard having IBD increases the risk I got scared but take a step back and analyse that statement. - People interpret this as "having IBD means I will get cancer". - This is false. - It is true that having IBD can increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer, this is not the same as saying you will definitely get it. - This is because there are so many other factors that can contribute to developing colorectal cancer. - Additionally, people with IBD have regular colonoscopies to monitor their IBD which helps in the early detection of colorectal cancer. • • • • • #thegrumblinggut #radiographer #crohnsdisease #ulcerativecolitis #microscopiccolitis #inflammatoryboweldisease __________________ Instagram/Facebook/Twitter/YouTube/TikTok: @thegrumblinggut Disclaimer: Information provided here is for educational purposes only and not intended to replace the advice or the services of trained healthcare professionals or be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Have you ever thought your Crohn's or Colitis would of been under control better if you got an earlier diagnosis? - It's crossed my mind that if I didn't keep quiet about the blood in stool for so long then maybe the first few years of dealing with crohn's may not of been so bad. - If you're unfamiliar with the symptoms of crohn's and colitis make sure you swipe through and have a read of this post. • • • • • #thegrumblinggut #radiographer #crohnsdisease #ulcerativecolitis #microscopiccolitis #inflammatoryboweldisease __________________ Instagram/Facebook/Twitter/YouTube/TikTok: @thegrumblinggut Disclaimer: Information provided here is for educational purposes only and not intended to replace the advice or the services of trained healthcare professionals or be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

MYTH: CROHN’S DISEASE & ULCERATIVE COLITIS ARE THE SAME THING - This is not true. Crohn’s disease can appear anywhere along the digestive tract and can occur in more than one part at the same time. - Ulcerative colitis only affects the large intestine (colon) of which there are three types (proctitis, left sided colitis and total colitis) of ulcerative colitis which is dependant of which part of the large intestines it is located in. • • • • • #thegrumblinggut #radiographer #crohnsdisease #ulcerativecolitis #microscopiccolitis #inflammatoryboweldisease __________________ Instagram/Facebook/Twitter/YouTube/TikTok: @thegrumblinggut Disclaimer: Information provided here is for educational purposes only and not intended to replace the advice or the services of trained healthcare professionals or be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
