📊If you are/were a caregiver for an adolescent/young adult (AYA) with #IBD or are an AYA who transitioned from #PedsGI to adult GI for your #IBD care, how was that transition?
Pls share your #PatientExperience with #MondayNightIBD!!

@MondayNightIBD @AaronBlocker_ Just to share my personal story, I found my biggest barrier was navigating the different care coordination style amidst a major life transition that coincided with my #PedsGI to adult GI transition! 1/5
There’s been some questions recently here about the types of #IBD research that @CrohnsColitisFn supports. I want to highlight some of the innovative projects that we are working on to bring us closer to our vision of a future free from #CrohnsDisease & #UlcerativeColitis.
.@CrohnsColitisFn is proud to be a collaborator on over 200 #IBD research projects in the US & around the world that are helping to improve patient quality of life and bring us closer to cures. Here are some examples:
We support the work of researchers at @ut_dallas who developed and are testing a wrist-watch like device that monitors sweat for biomarkers that could indicate an #IBD flare: crohnscolitisfoundation.org/blog/researche…

@rebelliousgut @MondayNightIBD @southasianIBD @ibdesis @Empoweringpts9 @DCharabaty @crohnsbabble @LivingWithUmeed @vkckiranpullela @TheMaveilousGut @dunung_ruchita 3/ When my dad passed from #CRC, my family went into poverty & couldn't afford health insurance. Though I was symptomatic as a child, I didn't have a #colonoscopy until 22 when I got my 1st job. That's when I received my very delayed #IBD diagnosis. #MondayNightIBD #SouthAsianIBD

@MondayNightIBD @DCharabaty @janssen @pfizer @TakedaPharma 3/ 😭 most pts are NOT getting safe 💉 like flu, pneumonia & HepB.
🤷♀️ Why?
🚫Many GIs won't/can't give 💉
❓Many PCPs don't know what to give
📞 Better communication is needed
#MondayNightIBD
Who do you think should make vaccine recs & where should pts w/ #IBD get 💉?

@MondayNightIBD @DCharabaty @janssen @pfizer @TakedaPharma 4/ pts w #IBD , esp if on ⚠️immunosuppressants (IS), at ⬆risk of (preventable) infections, so #vaccination is 🗝️
Infection in IBD = ⬆hospitalization ⬆ 🏥 stays ⬆costs & ⬆mortality.
Despite their benefits, vaccination rates remain LOW.

Nicotine is beneficial for people with #ADHD. Research on adults and adolescents with ADHD shows that nicotine patches improve focus and attention, and reduce hyperactivity & impulsivity.

TNF-alpha inhibitors were initially developed for sepsis and underwent studies in animal models. After successful results in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, these agents have been widely evaluated in other chronic inflammatory diseases.

Due to the high volume of #COVID19 #IBD patients @nyulangone , we developed a management protocol that incorporates #COVID19 severity, risk factors, and #IBD activity. We recognize this is a challenging time and we look forward to further guidance and input into our protocol.

More info from @SchwartzbergMD expressing ❌connection (unless underlying conditions/meds) between *just* colectomy and immune suppression. 👇🏽
Here’s more information about susceptibility & #ostomy/#Jpouch from @HolubarStefan. Ostomates (or jpouchers) don’t have a lower immune system *just* because they have an ostomy, BUT it’s imperative to keep strict hygiene. #IPAA https://t.co/bkeqMkcYRv

Studies 🔬 within each one of these four key elements have unveiled pathways involved in #IBD pathogenesis.
Some of which are amendable for potential therapeutic intervention…

In summary...
It takes a genetically susceptible host 🧬 to be exposed to a specific environmental agent 🦠 that, through a weakened intestinal barrier ⚔️, will lead to an exaggerated Immune activation🔥, responsible for the phenotypes we see in clinical practice!

1. If you want to understand what causes Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or actually many other chronic illnesses, and why most medicine doesn’t seem to treat it, I want to explain what may be happening. (thread)

2. This hypothesis is a collaboration between my wife and I, and is based on longstanding research + some new studies that have come out in the last year or so.
3. Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Like many of the other inflammatory bowel diseases, it can be a debilitating illness that makes life a living hell. If it gets bad enough, it can kill.
