The Bottom Line IBD
@bottomlineibd.bsky.social
Promoting patient education in #IBD (Crohn's & UC). I help patients tell their stories. In the real world I'm Rachel, an IBD patient advocate. Also at ibdwomen.bsky.social. Based in 🇬🇧.
The highlight of May for me each year is the blooming of my favourite rose, Ebb Tide.

Though purple is usually my least chosen colour in flowers, this one is a gorgeous smoky shade of it. And the smell is just sublime... 😍

Happy New Year to you all! 🎉🥂

The terrible weather has given me a free pass to sit here with a glass of wine and a bag of prawn crackers! 🙃 New resolutions can kick in tomorrow... 😁

Hope you all have a great year ahead! 🧡

#CrohnsAndColitisAwarenessWeek

Day 2

Rumination in #IBD - I've got a lot to say about this one!

But what is rumination... and importantly, what can we do about it as Crohn's and UC patients?

I made this graphic earlier, I hope it will help if you can relate too... 🥂

Hello IBDers - I put together this table of Crohn's and UC medication, according to whether you take the drug orally, by injection or by infusion.

May be useful if you have a preference for how you receive your #IBD meds. Based on UK prescribing only.

Which drugs should and shouldn't be used in the medical management of Crohn's disease, according to patient characteristics?

Here's an at-a-glance guide from ECCO's guidelines published earlier this year.
