@Alexa and Bezzy community: I think it would be helpful if we have a Post folder, entitled “IBD Articles” or something similar. “IBD, The Written Word.” I don’t know, but think you get it. Anyhow, so many great articles/studies, etc. out there that are shared(some by me, some by others, great originals by Alexa!), that may not get the views as a result of perhaps being located in the wrong spot(I know that I’ve been guilty of that!)- or a new post quickly covers them. I think if housed in one specific area, with the appropriate heading, it would reach far more of the community- who can review in real time, or at their convenience. I personally have learned so much about IBD, through reading and feel a designated area to find those resources would be a great addition.Perhaps could even serve as a weekly evening chat topic(IBD in the news). Sure, you can tell a slow afternoon at work for me and too much coffee- but hopefully some logic there. Something to consider, in any case. Enjoy the weekend!

Newly Diagnosed
Anyone have vomiting with their flares? I have UC but I noticed with both flares I’ve had vomiting was an issue at the onset. I mentioned it to my GI during my most recent flare but he was completely dismissive and said vomiting wouldn’t be part of a flare because it’s not my large intestine and I just had to keep taking my meds and eventually I’ll be better.
