And if you like what you hear, please spread the word to others with an interest in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.In this specially curated episode - for want of another phrase! - Nigel takes us on his personal and often amusing journey through his A–Z of Crohn’s disease experiences. From bone marrow biopsies to varices, stomas to sedation, he shares the gritty, surreal and occasionally entertaining realities of living with inflammatory bowel disease. For my part, I am the foil to his wit, with commentary, questions and a couple of my own stories - including a mention for my upcoming blog, The Perianal Diaries.💬 Nigel's Memorable Quotes“I woke up mid-gastroscopy, took a photo... and went back to sleep.”“When I reveal my stoma, you’ll see a pretty good impression of Mick Jagger.”“I’ve made a living out of people assuming I knew more than I do.”📣 Listener Call-OutHave you had TPN? Experienced Metronidazole side effects? Got your own stoma story? We’d love to hear from you. 📧 [email protected] Rachel at @bottomlineibdFollow Nigel at @crohnoid
