Have you checked out J&J’s IBD Social Circle’s whitepaper on the need for community in #IBD? 😊

This is a powerful paper with staggering statistics on isolation, stigma and the need for multidisciplinary care for us IBD patients. Check it out: www.ibdsocialcircle.com/community-ib...

An honor to present at #PIBDRD25 on the epidemiology, phenotypes, clinical features & sex-based differences of #IBD in #SouthAsians 🙌🏽

This was my 1st time presenting on a wide scale as a RESEARCHER at an IBD conference. Thank you to @neeraguptamd.bsky.social for the kind invitation 🙏🏽

Walking into 2025 like… 💃🏽

Having been diagnosed 19 years ago with #IBD, I never realized how much the condition would change my life. I’m grateful to be owning my Crohn’s everyday helping run @southasianibd.bsky.social @ibdesis.bsky.social w/ brilliant patients & doctors 🧿🙏🏽

Today marks 10 yrs since my #jpouch excision & #ostomy surgery due to perianal fistulizing #Crohns. This was me at a wedding days before surgery.

pCD research has come a long way but needs to go further to improve #IBD patient outcomes. Please continue to advocate for this 🙏🏽

Opening #CCAwarenessWeek at a wedding invoking Lord Ganesha for good health & happiness for all 🥳🧿🎊

For all the suffering we #IBD warriors go through, there is always hope for more treatments & a cure one day. Let’s heal & emerge from the shadows of illness together 🙏🏽
