A podcast on bowel disease, invisible illness & real life

Two friends. Two chronic bowel diseases. One podcast about living with an illness nobody can see, and everything that comes with it.

For anyone who wants to understand life with a chronic illness. No experience needed.

Why tune in

There's a podcast for every mood. Not many for a body that won't cooperate.

1

You live with it

Crohn's, colitis, a stoma, something so rare it has no support group. Real talk about the daily stuff: work, travel, food, energy, the bad weeks.

2

You love someone who does

Partner, friend, parent, colleague. What to say, what not to say, and what "I'm fine" actually means.

3

You're just curious

Millions of people carry a chronic illness you'd never spot. Come find out what it's really like, from people who can still laugh about it.

Bowel disease affects people of every gender. So does this podcast.

Your hosts

Friends first. Patients second. Not doctors, ever.

Desmosis coliPMOS

Lives with desmosis coli, a genetic gut disorder so rare it has a handful of documented cases worldwide, plus PMOS (the condition formerly known as PCOS) and a few things she still hasn't got a diagnosis for. Has lived in five countries, now lives and works in Switzerland, and is happiest in a room full of people, collecting their stories.

Known for: getting anyone talking within five minutes.

Crohn's disease

Lives with Crohn's disease and has turned years of appointments, flare-ups and second opinions into hard-won expertise. From Berlin, speaks Turkish, German and English, and is never short of a story or a strong opinion.

Known for: being warm, generous and the friend you can always count on.

Two economics-and-finance grads turning invisible illness into a conversation worth having.

What the episodes are like

The struggle, the workaround, the laugh at the end.

Every episode follows the same shape: what it's actually like, how someone got through it, and what nobody tells you in advance. Honest, unfiltered, and never medical advice.

Episodes 01–03

Just the two of us

Our own stories first. How we got diagnosed, what changed, what didn't, and how we ended up friends with matching problems.

From episode 04

Guests who get it

People living with other chronic illnesses — close to ours or nothing like them. Different bodies, remarkably familiar feelings.

Later in the season

The specialists

Once we've built an audience, we take your questions to gastroenterologists in Zurich, Berlin and Istanbul — three countries, three health systems, the same conditions. You ask, they answer.

Every episode

The invisible part

The thread running through all of it: none of this shows from the outside, and that changes how the world treats you.
