Conversations with Patient Advocates - Episode #94

It took 10 years before Cedric Pulliam, Ph.D, received a diagnosis and treatment for his Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Throughout college, as he suffered debilitating bouts of bowel distress, doctors advised him everything from managing his stress and improving his diet to decreasing alcohol consumption. No one bothered to dig deeper into the pain and frequent diarrhea. Now an Inflammatory Bowel Disease patient advocate and partner with IBD Social Circle, Dr. Pulliam shares his journey from struggling with unmanaged illness to firing his provider to get properly diagnosed and treated.
