During this episode, guest Lori Neal will share her family’s bowel management journey after her son Julian was born with spina bifida. Early on, enemas were the only option available to manage Julian’s condition, and Lori recalls they were a nightmare. After they stopped working when Julian was five, Lori first tried to create a makeshift system to help her son, but this didn’t quite meet his needs. Desperation sent her to social media, where she learned about the Peristeen® Transanal Irrigation System – and the rest is history. Lori will share her and Julian’s journey and provide valuable advice, best practices, and encouragement for parents who are caring for a child with neurogenic bowel.
