You haven't failed nutrition if you need meds

In this conversation, Ashley and Danielle discuss the importance of medication in managing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and how it can significantly improve quality of life. We share personal experiences and insights on the emotional aspects of medication, the role of nutrition, and the impact of hormonal changes on symptoms.
