Ep 14 Mrs Johannah Ruddy on IBS, The Patients Perspective

In todays episode, I spoke with Mrs Johannah Ruddy.

Johanna is Executive Director of the Rome Foundation and has recently published an article titled: From Pretending to Truly Being OK: A journey from illness to health with post infection IBS: The patients perspective.

This episode covers Johannah’s very personal journey including her early childhood trauma, childhood conditioning and being diagnosed with IBS and the suffering that resulted from a poor Doctor Patient relationship.

Johannah’s story does have a happy ending.

A lot to learn here for both Doctors and Patients, so both can work together to help each other.

I hope you enjoy the talk.
