In this podcast we answer a question we got around fear of failure associated with taking medications.  We often talk about a multifaceted approach when treating IBD. It is also important to weight the risk of untreated inflammation against the possible risk of taking medication. 

Takeaways-

- Medication is a valid part of treatment, not a failure.
- Diet is often overlooked in discussions about IBD.
- IBD is an autoimmune disease that requires comprehensive care.
- Fear of medication side effects is common but manageable.
- Cultural perceptions of wellness can impact self-acceptance.
- A multifaceted approach is essential for effective IBD management.
- Nutrition can support and improve outcomes of medical treatment.
- Mental health plays a crucial role in managing IBD.
- You're not alone; many share similar struggles.

We love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel. Creating the resources we provide comes at a significant cost to us. We dream of a day where we can provide even more free education, guidance and support to those with IBD like us. 

We need your support to do this. You can help us by liking episodes, sharing them on your social media, subscribing to YouTube and telling others about us (your doctors, friends, family, forums/reddit etc). 

Can you do this for us? In return, I promise to continually improve what we offer to you on all of these platforms!
