IBDetermined
Created to discuss living with Crohn's disease and made for adults, kids, teens, and families to encourage them to find ways to overcome obstacles, small and large. We will invite guests from multiple perspectives to give us insight on how they have handled challenges and what they did to get through them. Some episodes will focus on open and honest discussions about Crohn's disease from a caregiver and patient perspective. We will talk to others with IBD, chronic illnesses, and life changing situations people have learned to navigate. Hosted by a mom and son duo who had their lives flipped upside down with a severe Crohn's disease diagnosis. They are living their best lives and helping others survive and thrive by creating awareness and finding empowerment.

S3 Episode 10 - We discuss DEXA scans and how IBD affects bone density and osteoporosis!
Welcome to S3 episode 10! Bone health is something that goes hand in hand with IBD. It can be a silent problem until it isn't. We go over how it is detected through a DEXA scan, how to understand your scores, things you can do for better bone health, and how IBD patients are affected. We also discuss intestine cookies and Mason's new Invisalign! We are family friendly and want our audience to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.
