Bathroom Urgency + Flying = Awful Anxiety | #crohnsdisease #shorts2024 Barrett Laurie 2024-05-29 | Traveling is stressful enough, but throw in an IBD flare and flying can be downright awful.In this short I share my worries when traveling and more specifically while flying. I always advise that Crohnies have their plan in place. Let your flight attendant know that you have IBD, are experiencing flare symptoms and might need to access the bathroom quickly. I have never had a flight attendant not do everything they could to help me get safely to the restroom in a pinch. #crohnswarrior #crohns #crohnsandcolitis #disabilitypride #disabilityawareness #shortsvideos #shorts ****************************************************Good causes:Crohn's & Colitis Foundationcrohnscolitisfoundation.orgEquality Federation:equalityfederation.orgIt Gets Better:itgetsbetter.orgGill Foundation:gillfoundation.orgThe Trevor Project:thetrevorproject.orgNational Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network:nqttcn.comGLSEN:glsen.orgBlack Lives Matter:blacklivesmatter.comThe Conscious Kid:theconsciouskid.org*******************************************************CONNECT WITH BARRETT LAURIEWebsite-barrettlaurie.comTwitter-twitter.com/Barrett_LaurieInsta-instagram.com/barrett_laurie*******************************************************Because your trust in me is important, a quick disclosure:Some of the links here are affiliate links, which means that if you choose to make a purchase, I will earn a commission.

Pantless Weigh In, Self Doubt & Finding My Why | #crohnswarrior #chronicillnesslife Barrett Laurie 2024-04-16 | Man you haven't lived until you have weighed in for the world and realized you take your pants off before stepping on the scale as a habit...with a camera rolling. Add it to the many things that makes me weird! That little embarrassing self discovery aside this week features my first weigh in since starting phentermine to get my weight under control. To say I was shocked by the amount of weight I lost in one week is an understatement. I'm thrilled with the progress so far. The meat of this week's vlog though isn't really about the weight loss, so much as it is about the feelings of self doubt that creeped up in me once I realized I was going to be weighing myself for the world to see. Reflecting on my past I quickly realized the last time I felt this level of self doubt was around the time of my diagnosis with Crohn's disease. Back in the early days of my diagnosis I was susceptible to all sorts of medical misinformation because I was too new to know what I didn't know. On my most recent episode of Gut Instinct, my podcast all about living and thriving with a chronic illness, my dear friend @AuthorMorganLee talked about her journey with Crohn's disease. During that discussion Morgan shared a point in her Crohn's story, she stopped taking her meds due to a form of medical misinformation that stems from extreme religious beliefs. This discussion, along with my feelings of self doubt over my weigh ins inspired this video about how I combat self doubt while focusing on my 'why.'#crohnsdisease #chronicillnesswarriors #crohns #chronicillness #disabilityawareness #disabilitypride ****************************************************Good causes:Crohn's & Colitis Foundationcrohnscolitisfoundation.orgEquality Federation:equalityfederation.orgIt Gets Better:itgetsbetter.orgGill Foundation:gillfoundation.orgThe Trevor Project:thetrevorproject.orgNational Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network:nqttcn.comGLSEN:glsen.orgBlack Lives Matter:blacklivesmatter.comThe Conscious Kid:theconsciouskid.org*******************************************************CONNECT WITH BARRETT LAURIEWebsite-barrettlaurie.comTwitter-twitter.com/Barrett_LaurieInsta-instagram.com/barrett_laurie*******************************************************Because your trust in me is important, a quick disclosure:Some of the links here are affiliate links, which means that if you choose to make a purchase, I will earn a commission.

Check out Morgan's Crohn's story on the latest episode of my podcast Gut Instinct where she breaks down her journey, the impact of her illness on her mental health, her religion and her life. She held nothing back and put it all out there.

Gut Instinct - Morgan Lees Crohns Story | Ep: 3 @AuthorMorganLee #crohnsdisease Barrett Laurie 2024-04-08 | This week on Gut Instinct I am talking to my friend and fellow Crohnie Morgan Lee. Morgan is an accomplished author, editor, disabilities advocate and AuthorTuber. Morgan has been so open about her Crohn's disease, neurodivergence and journey to acceptance I had to have her on the podcast to chat. We'll discuss her Crohn's story and the intersectionality of Crohn's and neurodivergence. If you're new here my Crohn's story began in 2020, when my life changed forever after properly diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I was unprepared for how my life would change and evolve. Back then I couldn't have possibly been ready for the myriad of different ways I would adjust my everyday life to accommodate living with a chronic illness. From anal fistulas, to flaming diarrhea, to nausea, to extreme weight fluctuations, to malnourishment thanks to vitamin malabsorption, to blood in stool, inflammation, liver disease and everything in between this ride has been wild. A magical drug called Remicade, prescribed by my incredible GI Dr. Deepak, saved my life. But the road to get the medicine I needed, at the dose and rate I needed it has been a never ending battle. Because health care in America sucks a big toe! This podcast series will focus on Crohn's disease, but living with a disability more broadly. I will share my story, the ups and downs, as well as the impact of the people in my life through first hand interviews. I will also be inviting on other Crohnies to share their story with the disease and their road to remission. I will also invite on those living with a disability (whether in the IBD family or not) to talk about the unique challenges we face. I hope you'll join me for these frank discussions about living and thriving with a chronic illness.

Being disabled is NOT a choice! Quit being ableist a**holes! | A 60 second rant. | #shorts2024 Barrett Laurie 2024-04-03 | For anyone that is disabled this is something you will get from time to time. "You can't come? Your Crohn's always gets bad when I'm having a party!" or "Are you sure you don't feel well, or is that just an excuse? Seems to conveniently happen when we're supposed to hang out!" or "Not again. I thought you found a treatment that was working for you? In the Crohn's commercials people seem to be able to go to things once they start treatment. It's okay to just say you don't want to come, you don't have to use Crohn's as an excuse."I got that last one this week. Let's do better. We can all do better. If you're able bodied and watching this, please stop doing this to your disabled friends. It really does make you the a**hole. #disabilitypride #crohnsdisease #crohnswarrior #crohns #disabilityawareness #chronicillnesslife #chronicillness ****************************************************Good causes:Crohn's & Colitis Foundationcrohnscolitisfoundation.orgEquality Federation:equalityfederation.orgIt Gets Better:itgetsbetter.orgGill Foundation:gillfoundation.orgThe Trevor Project:thetrevorproject.orgNational Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network:nqttcn.comGLSEN:glsen.orgBlack Lives Matter:blacklivesmatter.comThe Conscious Kid:theconsciouskid.org*******************************************************CONNECT WITH BARRETT LAURIEWebsite-barrettlaurie.comTwitter-twitter.com/Barrett_LaurieInsta-instagram.com/barrett_laurie*******************************************************Because your trust in me is important, a quick disclosure:Some of the links here are affiliate links, which means that if you choose to make a purchase, I will earn a commission.

Princess Kates health was never our business. | Speculation never helpful. | #chronicillnesslife Barrett Laurie 2024-03-24 | This weeks I found myself a little triggered by the fact that Princess Kate was essentially pressured into revealing a health diagnosis she had no intention of sharing publicly at this time to silence wild speculation about her.

Getaways are good for a grieving heart. | Road Trip Vlog 2024 | #crohnswarrior Barrett Laurie 2024-03-16 | Road trips are good for the soul, especially for a grieving heart. This getaway to northwest Arkansas was just what the doctor ordered. We survived date nights, doggie bakeries, too many amazing restaurants to count and a tornado scare at the breathtaking Crystal Bridges Art Museum. What a trip! As we settle back into life at home, it makes me grateful for my beautiful family. It's funny how the dream never looks exactly like we think it should, but that doesn't mean it isn't our happily ever after. Be good to yourselves and one another.

Disabled folks working twice as hard & still not appreciated. Not worth it | #crohns Barrett Laurie 2024-03-04 | This week’s vlog is the beginning of an emotional two weeks. This week I focus on walking away from some unhealthy work expectations. After working round the clock 7 days a week for weeks my body started to tell me it was going to revolt. When the choice is my health or my job that is an easy choice. This vlog is basically a mood. The moment that I decided, even though I hear the voices in my head telling me I need to work twice as hard as able bodied folk to get ahead, it ain't true. It's a lie. So I reclaimed my power and my time this week. Come with me on that journey and join the conversation. Tell me about your experiences being overworked by someone who doesn't appreciate that effort? How did you react?Hang in there Crohnies and I'll see you next week!Chapters -00:00 - Burn out equals freedom00:39 - Self doubt02:08 - Deadlines missed03:05 - Sick from work04:40 - Brylee break05:45 Another day another class06:37 - Stuff disabled folks think about07:50 - Universal pressures08:50 - Shame in asking for help?09:38 - Hit a wall10:01 - What I learned about me10:48 - Desert of feedback11:07 - No one gives you a job12:02 - Lessons13:30 - Do it for those that care14:15 - Do you boo14:55 - Good enough?#crohnsdisease #crohnswarrior #chronicillnesslife #disabilitypride ****************************************************Good causes:Crohn's & Colitis Foundationcrohnscolitisfoundation.orgEquality Federation:equalityfederation.orgIt Gets Better:itgetsbetter.orgGill Foundation:gillfoundation.orgThe Trevor Project:thetrevorproject.orgNational Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network:nqttcn.comGLSEN:glsen.orgBlack Lives Matter:blacklivesmatter.comThe Conscious Kid:theconsciouskid.org*******************************************************CONNECT WITH BARRETT LAURIEWebsite-barrettlaurie.comTwitter-twitter.com/Barrett_LaurieInsta-instagram.com/barrett_laurie*******************************************************Because your trust in me is important, a quick disclosure:Some of the links here are affiliate links, which means that if you choose to make a purchase, I will earn a commission.

Exaggerating my disability or faking symptoms...not today Satan. #crohnsdisease Barrett Laurie 2024-02-27 | One of the ugliest things about living with a disability is how often we are told we are "overreacting," "exaggerating" or worse of all "faking" our symptoms. Oh hell no! I had no idea how prevalent this was until it started happening to me. And sometimes from people we love and trust. The ignorance is astounding. That's why I work everyday to push back on this little by little each day. Has this happened to you?

Gut Instinct: Love, Laughter, & Crohns | An Interview w/ my Husband Rick | #crohnswarrior Barrett Laurie 2024-02-26 | This episode (Gut Instinct: Ep. 2) I am joined by my lovely and amazing husband Rick Laurie, or as I affectionately refer to him, Ricky. I wanted to get his perspective on what it is like to live with someone suffering from a chronic illness. From the golden handcuffs of health insurance, to watching your partner struggle while remaining positive and how he deals with anxiety when I'm not able to focus on his needs due to being in flare. It's easy to forget those we love are in the trenches with us and I wanted to take a minute to have that discussion with him, hoping it might help someone else feel more secure opening up to their partner about chronic illness and the impact it has on the relationship. Be gentle y'all. He's shy! In 2020, my life changed forever when I was properly diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I was unprepared for how my life would change and evolve. Back then I couldn't have possibly been ready for the myriad of different ways I would adjust my everyday life to accommodate living with a chronic illness. From anal fistulas, to flaming diarrhea, to nausea, to extreme weight fluctuations, to malnourishment thanks to vitamin malabsorption, to blood in stool, inflammation, liver disease and everything in between this ride has been wild. A magical drug called Remicade, prescribed by my incredible GI Dr. Deepak, saved my life. But the road to get the medicine I needed, at the dose and rate I needed it has been a never ending battle. Because health care in America sucks a big toe! This podcast series will focus on Crohn's disease, but living with a disability more broadly. I will share my story, the ups and downs, as well as the impact of the people in my life through first hand interviews. I will also be inviting on other Crohnies to share their story with the disease and their road to remission. I will also invite on those living with a disability (whether in the IBD family or not) to talk about the unique challenges we face. I hope you'll join me for these frank discussions about living and thriving with a chronic illness.#crohns #crohnsdisease #chronicillness
Shocking number of disabilities are invisible! | Discrimination common. | #invisibledisability Barrett Laurie 2024-02-24 | A staggering number of people with disabilities in the US and around the world have invisible disabilities. This means they aren't obvious. You would be amazed at the things people are willing to say to your face when they know you're disabled but it isn't immediately apparent what it is.This can result in some incredibly insensitive things being said. Some of the worst a former horrible boss said to me are shared in this video.

Drive by Pooping & Laughing at Crohns Symptoms | #shorts2024 Barrett Laurie 2024-02-22 | In response to a viewer request I shared an embarrassing story about pooping my pants that I can laugh at now. At the time I was terribly embarrassed but the beauty of hindsight is the ability to laugh at awkward situations.

Am I Disabled? | Owning Crohns disease | Invisible Disability in the Workplace #crohns Barrett Laurie 2024-02-19 | Getting to a place in my life where I was comfortable owning my disability took a minute. It still surprises me the ingrained bias towards disabilities that I was carrying until I had to fight that dissonance within myself.Being disabled isn't a walk in the park but it can be especially scary if you have an invisible disability. Mostly because we never know the terrain. Will we have people who ask rude and invasive questions? Or will self awareness and mutual respect win the day?Getting to a place of acceptance has brought me peace. I'm grateful to have access to an accommodation plan and protections for my job should I have a flare. Join me this week and every week on the rocky road of adulting with a disability. #crohnsdisease #disabilitypride #invisibledisability #chronicillnesslife Soundtrack (Epidemic Sound): Fall into Place - Daxton, Wai feat.

Bathroom Urgency & Back-To-Work Vlog | Day In The Life | Crohns Vlogger | #crohnsdisease Barrett Laurie 2024-02-12 | This vlog follows my first full day back to work following my much delayed Remicade infusion. There was a common theme - bathroom urgency. Ooft it made for a very long day. The other theme that presented itself during the filming of this vlog was the realization that balancing disability and career is hard and stressful. I expect to be diving into this more and more as the year continues. Living with a chronic illness means that everyday is impacted by my inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) diagnosis.

Gut Instincts Ep 1: My Crohns Diagnosis | Crohns & Disability Podcast | #CrohnsWarrior Barrett Laurie 2024-01-29 | In 2020, my life changed forever when I was properly diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I was unprepared for how my life would change and evolve. Back then I couldn't have possibly been ready for the myriad of different ways I would adjust my everyday life to accommodate living with a chronic illness. From anal fistulas, to flaming diarrhea, to nausea, to extreme weight fluctuations, to malnourishment thanks to vitamin malabsorption, to blood in stool, inflammation, liver disease and everything in between this ride has been wild. A magical drug called Remicade, prescribed by my incredible GI Dr. Deepak, saved my life. But the road to get the medicine I needed, at the dose and rate I needed it has been a never ending battle. Because health care in America sucks a big toe! This podcast series will focus on Crohn's disease, but living with a disability more broadly. I will share my story, the ups and downs, as well as the impact of the people in my life through first hand interviews. I will also be inviting on other Crohnies to share their story with the disease and their road to remission. I will also invite on those living with a disability (whether in the IBD family or not) to talk about the unique challenges we face. I hope you'll join me for these frank discussions about living and thriving with a chronic illness.

Crohns Unfiltered: INSANE Preauthorization Fight for Remicade Infusion | Vlog | #crohnswarrior Barrett Laurie 2024-01-20 | Hey peeps! "What's the worst that can happen?" Is never a question you should ask during a gap in treatment due to preauthorization. Because this year the answer to that has been one of the most painful experiences of my life...and I've dealt with anal fistulas!Preauthorization is something insurance companies do at the beginning of every year to determine whether or not a treatment plan, like Remicade (infliximab) infusions in my case, or medical procedure is medically necessary. It is an awful time of year for any person struggling with chronic illness, but one we can get through together. Buckle up for one of my "story time" talks dripping with sarcasm and my dark humor. Trust...if I didn't laugh I would cry. Crohn's disease is something that I carry everywhere and therefore I wear it like a favorite coat. Be prepared for an unfiltered, unvarnished look at my life as a queer, disabled badass. If you're a crohnie...this vlog is for you.
