Newly table changes to legislation targeting municipality rolls back the province's power to remove councillors and bylaws. The president of the rural municipalities of alberta says the cabinet powers are still 2 brought. 25,000 people in this province live with inflammatory bowel disease, including crohn's and colitis. A recent study shows many people are not managing their disease, leading to red flags in major health issues. Joining us this morning is doctor, you jesse simple dean was based here in edmonton and was part of that study. So doctors first talk about what is this disease? >> Well, thank you for having inflammatory bowel disease is basically an autoimmune disease that causes damage to the bowels. And as you might be able to understand. That may carry a certain stigma with it, with patients not wanting to talk about it so much. And that's why this kind of. Opportunity is very important because it normalizes that conversation. >> So let's talk about your role in this study. What did you find? So I lead the charge on the the canadian arm of the global podcast study, which included edmonton and lethbridge as sites. >> The intention of the study was to see if we're meeting our treatment targets to make our patients lives as good as possible. And we also wanted to understand how physicians and patients perceptions of in front of how well they were doing aligned with those treatment targets that we're looking at and that the results are quite striking. In fact, we found that about 50% of patients had red flags suggesting suboptimal disease control. 90% of those patients were experiencing impaired quality of life measures. And this is very important because it could lead to further complications down the road, such as hospitalizations and surgeries. >> And so that seems like a huge number as it did it. Take you aback to find >> It it really did surprising that surprised me even more in fact, was that 80% of patients had either the position of the pit peace and feeling that they were actually doing well, even though they were not meeting their treatment targets. Interesting, so how do we boost that up? How do we change that if there are people out there who are. >> Leaving some optimally, as you say, but thought they were fine. >> So I think this comes down to patients being able to talk more freely with their physician about what they're going through both the symptoms of, but also with how things are going at home, how things are going with regards to work and really not minimizing the symptoms, which we all kind of tend to do because we just have to push on with with life. >> So what's your advice for people who are at home that maybe have this disease or have concerns with their doctor, because I think for most of us, we walk into a doctor's office. We don't want us to be seen as were complaining or something like that. How do we encourage people to speak up when the when they think something is off. >> So I think again, though, it is important to be open and honest with your physician about what is going on with you and and to and really we are there to listen. So physicians are there to listen, even though we may not always have all the time in the world, but but we really do want to hear how especially a chronic disease like inflammatory bowel disease is impacting our in every aspect of their life. >> And for people with ibd or those who may be suspecting some symptoms, which they be looking for. >> So so really, you know, the, the the big factors, the quality of life included things like fatigue, urgency about have its, you know, basically being interrupted several times

a day, not being able to attend to their work fully. So those are very important things. I'm not being able to do the things you want to do with your children or be able to go out on a date or be able to do those things that all of us sort of take for granted, sometimes. And those are really important to bring up with with your doctor. >> Yeah, certainly will take her own health seriously. Doctor, thanks so much for coming in. Sure, he's very much some of the study with us and some advice if you'd like to learn more, you can visit crohn's and colitis.
