I am hoping to get answers for my child who has recently been diagnosed with Crohn’s. Your videos have been informative, I am hopeful to get more direction in care and lifestyle changes? Thank you!
Although I am in remission from Crohns, I am experiencing more severe symptoms than ever. This condition is perplexing, and I recognise that I am not the only one facing these challenges. Meanwhile, others in remission seem to be thriving, which is as it should be. Its hard to keep hopefull. Thanking you for everything your doing🙏
Hi Dr. Lees, I’ve been an Ulcerative Colitis patient for 5 years, living in the Netherlands and from a middle eastern origin. I got diagnosed five years after my difficult but successful immigration to Europe. I’m an engineer by profession, so understanding details is in my nature. Your videos always give me a dose of optimism, and I really appreciate how they provide information I can research further. It helps me better understand my condition and communicate more effectively with my gastroenterologist. Please keep posting new videos-they are truly helpful!
Dr. Lees, thank you so much for your passion and dedication to this horrible disease. My Story. Canadian born and raised. Mom was Ukrainian and Dad was Scottish. 2010 was given Clindamycin to prevent infection of a root canal. Developed UC type symptoms shortly after for the first time ever. 2016 at the age of 50 started to show signs of UC. Diagnosed with UC shortly after. In and out of UC flares controlled with steroids. Transitioned to Biologics Jan 2020. Humira and azathioprine not working. March of 2020 too sick to work. lost 40 lbs, critical. Looking to cut my Colon out. Moved to Xeljanz. Still not working. Meanwhile, changed my diet radically. No processed foods at all. Changed to high fiber, fermented and gut friendly foods. Before they were going to cut my colon out Dr. suggest we try steroids one last time to see if will help the Xeljanz work. After weaning off of the steroids boom, I went into remission. I firmly believe diet change and the meds have kept me in remission for 4 years now. Last Colonoscopy on Dec 2023 showed no signs of disease. Quality of life has been awesome. Thank you for what you do!
Lots and lots of exciting new drugs available indeed. Im led to believes anti tnf's are still the main ones to try before jak inhibitors, yet i dont understand why ive only been offered to choose between aza or rinvoq. Id like an anti tnf before turning to jak inhibitor, or even aza but not been given that choice :-(
