I like how this podcast is eye opening to so many illnesses and their challenges. It's also very inspiring and empowering to find someone who can understand what you're going through.

I love this podcast! I have crohns , but I was just diagnosed with Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (SMAS) and nutcracker syndrome. I was really hoping you could do an episode on SMAS, there is almost no information out there, and doctors treat us really bad for some reason. Every group I’ve joined, had the same story of not knowing who to go to or what to do! It has a death rate of 1 in 3. We should have more information about this. We are not too rare to care! We really really need answers and help! 🙏🤞🏻💜

The host needs a microphone, it’s borderline unlistenable. Aside from that, the information is super useful and they do nice job making it patient-centric and not overly clinical. I listened to an episode about pediatric bowel issues and although it was good info they missed a huge opportunity to address what happens when kids need to be cleaned out, and didn’t tackle the Miralax controversy head on. If you know anything about constipated kids, it seems these doctors are NOT knowledgeable because they exclude or skip over these important concerns.

I’m sorry. WHAT? The episode I listened to completely wrote off any sort of dietary interventions and only touted powerful drugs and surgery to remove a colon of someone with ulcerative colitis. He said “you actually don’t need a colon”, which is wild. There are hundreds of important functions that stem from processes in the colon. Work to rehabilitate and heal it before you go to immune suppressing drugs and removal. I’m stunned and saddened.

That Dr Valente is a sharp one
