The wonderful resources at Health Health Talk – Colitis have put together another excellent webcast. The webcast is titled “Which Medications  and Surgeries Can Help Your Colitis?” – The host Rick Turner is talking with Alan Buchman, M.D., M.S.P.H. about the following:

Are you looking for more relief from your colitis symptoms but aren’t sure which medicines or surgeries might be right for you? Join us as our expert guests discuss drugs, surgeries and other treatments for colitis and how to choose the right ones for each stage of your illness. Get diet and exercise tips, hear about the pros and cons of biologic medications and find out how to decide if you need surgery. Plus, our experts guide you through the basic steps to building a treatment plan with your doctor.

For those readers visiting the site who have heard the words “surgery” from the doctor and/or are trying to seek information to have more informed conversations with your doctor, listen to this webcast.   Also, a few months ago we recommended you listen to “Colitis and Surgery: Why You Shouldn’t Wait Too Long” – I think this is one of the best and most informative and objective discussions regarding the decision making process for surgery.

Listen and let us know what you think!
