I Didn't Know Crohn's Could Do This! (Symptoms I've Had OUTSIDE of My Intestines) | Let's Talk IBD

Today I am talking about the ways Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and other forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease can cause complications outside of the GI tract, called extraintestinal manifestations. I share a bit of my own history, including kidney issues in which I've required pyleoplasty surgery and ureter stents well as other issues that can be experienced like anemia, Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis, arthritis, Pyoderma Gangrenosum, and Erythema Nodosum! If you think Crohn's was bad enough, it likes to get other organ systems involved in its fun, so do not ignore any symptoms you may experience!

Hi, I'm Maggie and I have Crohn's disease. I am thrilled to be here sharing my personal experiences with Inflammatory Bowel Disease as well as living with an ostomy. I'm proud to share a little bit from a clinical experience as well, having worked as a GI pediatric nurse and ostomy telehealth nurse. I am so glad you are here. ♥ #ostomy #ibd #chronicillness
