About Ibd

There aren’t as many men who are vocal in the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) space as there are women. Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis affect men as often as they do women, but fewer men seem comfortable being public about their disease.   That’s why Carlos “CJ" Cabrera, who also goes by CJ Papuro, entered the IBD community after his diagnosis of Crohn’s. He gives an overview of how difficult it was to be diagnosed as a US veteran using the Veterans Health Administration, his struggles with finding his way with nutrition, the ways in which IBD has affected him as a man, and his advice for other men.   Concepts discussed on this episode include: Athletic Greens — AG1: https://athleticgreens.com/ibdpod Fragmented Care and IBD: Outcomes in U.S. Veterans: https://ihpi.umich.edu/news/fragmented-care-and-ibd-outcomes-us-veterans The Incidence and Prevalence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Among U.S. Veterans: A National Cohort Study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3972034/ Maltodextrin, Modern
