Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is a condition in which fat builds up in one’s liver and can cause damage over time. This condition is more prevalent among #IBD patients compared with the general population and needs further study.

AI would advise *anyone* with auto immune problems to avoid the #covid jabs.

They do damage and the doctors won't take it seriously.

They are too lazy and arrogant to admit such a possibility even when it is officially medically documented.

They ignore completely the way auto immune people are vulnerable and leave them to live damaged shadow lives.

Crohns devastates me and they consider it, not one bit.

Wear a proper mask, like a respirator around people.

Treg cells are a category of T cells whose properties make them a candidate for potential treatment therapies for #IBD. We eagerly await the outcome of clinical trials using this approach that are currently underway.

…it’s that time of every other month. Wehhhh #disability #crohns #ibd

Together we can make our voices heard. Let's not be satisfied with current #crohns treatments, which never work at all for some patients and eventually fail many. We urgently need to find the causes of #crohnsdisease rather than developing more band-aid-like medications. A cure for Crohn's IS possible if we make it the priority.

This is a great, thought-provoking piece about the use of biomarkers in making treatment decisions and predicting disease course in #IBD, including how errors are sometimes made when operating on the basis of traditional assumptions.

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) -- extracting beneficial bacteria & yeasts from healthy donor feces & transplanting it into the colon of a recipient -- continues to be investigated as a possible treatment for #IBD.
This recently published study reviews "the key determinants of FMT success, insights & strategies that will enable a close integration of lab-based and clinical approaches for increasing FMT success."

Serious question: what is the vegan/plant-based solution for folks like me who want to eat more veg but can’t always tolerate them well due to IBD/etc? As much as I love beans/hummus/shrooms/tofu, I haven’t found anything quite so nutrient-dense and digestible as animal protein. Even shakes and supplements don’t really satiate my hunger.

Again, this is a serious question. In the past I have gotten such non-answers as “you’re making it up, no one is intolerant to plants” and “it’s just a stomachache” and “no one NEEDS meat, stop lying to yourself”, so I would appreciate some sincere and thoughtful dialogue on the issue. #vegan #vegetarian #chronicallyill #disability #ibd #crohns #plantbased #askmastodon

#Unfunfact the large amount of autoimmune diseases in the western world apparently only exist because we have an almost zero percent rate of intestinal worms.

My fellow #crohns homies would be killing it if we had a tape worm.

I didn't know where to put this.
It's an article from a digital historical source.

It's about Cleveland's history of steel production and pollution. I grew up in the #LTVsteel neighborhoods. Many of the children were born with various medical issues/complications (me and my siblings are chronically ill and disabled in some way). Mass disabling events aren't due to only pandemics of viruses. World reports under document illness and disability. I'm certain of it. #WHO is nothing to go by. Might as well be the #CDC.

So, ANYWAYS, I realized the past couple days, that my struggles with breathing and #airQuality are nothing new, I think I am just less resilient, or um... SICKER, and it's harder to roll with the proverbial punches. Seeing the kids struggling with this makes my #mentalHealth state worse.

I remember my parents telling me about my oldest brother, born in 1971, having the worst #asthma of anyone in the family. My parents didn't own a car, they had to take the RTA (busline, we called it "Rita"), no matter the weather or situation. They had to take the bus, with my asthmatic brother to the hospital, sometimes 2 times a month, due to breathing emergencies, where he would get nebulizer treatments and so on.

I realized. It was the pollution in #Cleveland. My brother was diagnosed with #emphysema in his early 30's (of course, smoking didn't help, but, he did quit about 5 years ago, I heard this thru the grapevine because he doesn't talk to me anymore). One of his kids (my niece) had an asthma diagnosis as a baby and developed #RA by age 7. #Lupus runs in my family, as does RA, #Psoriasis, #Crohns, #Celiac, and of course, #diabetes, #heartDisease and #neurological issues. We are a sick family (increasingly worse over the generations). This can all be traced to #racism and the #American caste system, #poverty, and of course, #pollution, #industrialization, #capitalism.

So anyways, here's that article:

That there are no cures for #crohns nearly 100 years after its naming & after untold millions in expenditures is disheartening. But we refuse to give up & refuse to accept immunosuppression as the end game. Breakthroughs are happening every day & cures will someday be ours.

#IBD

Auto immune symptoms I get makes it very clear how directly our immune systems react to stress.

Atm mine is so sensitive that is I think a dark/negative thought, the response is immediate in muscle neuralgia.

I need an app to measure immune system spikes in real time as a live reaction to different words..or a personal mri.

It's a sad, documented truism that people with occasionally catastrophic auto immune disease draw closer to a parent. It's a subconscious survival thing imo.
As a kid I ran from them as far as I could.
Every instinct is to be kind to them but to try to take any warmth from them is the fruit of a poison tree.
I saw my mother manipulate and bully my grandfather, my father.
Time to duck out and break the cycle.. keep telling myself.

My wife has Crohn's, a truly horrible disease. She uses weed to cope with the pain, it helps her take less of the addictive opioid painkillers (she's prescribed dihydrocodeine, so not the strongest but) her doctor said he's fine with it & she should get it on prescription (we can't afford the upfront cost, it's a private service) her dad & aunt have a massive problem with it, we're both recovering heroin addicts & her aunt & dad think we're "junkys"

Wonderful to return to Brazil 🇧🇷 and be a part of @JanssenGlobal to discuss Treatment Management in #Crohns #UlcerativeColitis alongside friends & colleagues @waqqasafif and Dra Cris Flores. And, always need to make time to spend with friends & enjoy cochinhas (my fav!) 😋

@CharityFeb For ref:

I have crohns wihich makes me more vulnerable generally.

Covid triggered crohns and damaged my immune system such that it can't suppress a herpes infection that has been symptom free for 30 years naturally. It was the first symptom of covid for me.

I have neck/head headaches for a year.

Antivirals are slow to work but I am much better.

This can be fatal and often not confirmed before brain damage occurs.

This should be well known.
