⬇️⬇️⬇️

Management of a healthy pregnancy begins... before pregnancy!

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Start planning early!

Want 3 months of steroid-free remission before conception.

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Best contraception in #IBD is progesterone-based LARCs.

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
#IBD patients should take low-dose #aspirin to prevent #preeclampsia if #OBGYN recommends.

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Pregnant #IBD patients (and any pregnant patients) should AVOID #cannabis.

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Pregnant #IBD patients should be extra cautious with respect to #COVID19.

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Congrats on the #pregnancy! Now what?! Manage the disease!

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Control of disease is key in preventing adverse #pregnancy outcomes!

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Managing flares is similar to in non-pregnant patients. Avoid MTX and tofacitinib.

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Steroids should NOT be used as maintenance, as they are associated with poor maternal and fetal outcomes.

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Summary of #PIANO! (See prior thread for more detail!)

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Other data sets confirm #PIANO showing safety of anti-TNFs in #pregnancy.

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
However removing TNF therapy increases maternal disease risks...

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Try to avoid TOFA, especially in 1st trimester.

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Delivery? Leave it to the #OBGYN! But some things to consider...

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Breastfeeding is safe while on #IBD medications! No need to avoid, or to pump-n-dump.

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Exposure to biologics does not impact vaccine response.

#AIBD2020 @IBDConference @UmaMahadevanIBD #IBD
Kids tend to do very very well!

Recapping @AmCollegeGastro's #VirtualGrandRounds on #IBS! Let's begin!
🟣IBS can be diagnosed with the Rome criteria
🟣Making a positive diagnosis is very helpful to patients, many of whom have gone years without a name for their symptoms
#IBS is heterogeneous, and so are its pathogenesis and pathophysiology.
🟣Identifying underlying factors in patients can help target treatment!

@AmCollegeGastro
Important principles when diagnosing and treating #IBS.
