Meet Caroline P.! – Episode 12

Subscribe RSS

This week we talk to Caroline Perry on being diagnosed with Crohn's disease very young, growing up with IBD, and what is was like to have a sibling with IBD as well as one without IBD. We also talk about establishing boundaries when we you have IBD and also work in IBD research, how important it is to find people who really "get it", creative outlets for expressing feelings, and the importance of therapy (again- always). We share some laughs, some stories about bathroom emergencies, some sparkling water, and sadly Alicia drinks wine alone.
