Traveling with United Airlines to be with family in these uncertain times and I am moved away from my wife and three kids and no one at United has the access to fix or look into it. Disappointing....@united


Patients play a large role in educating community gastroenterologists by asking informed questions


Hats off to Zoey Wright! Post colectomy with ileostomy from UC, now a bodybuilder!


Nothing like a Saturday in Tiger Stadium!


Let's redefine "the Norm" in IBD. We have more weapons and understand the disease more than ever. The patient,not the doctor is key to IBD.


Still seeing moderate to severe Crohn's patients referred on Mesalamine, when studies are showing Azathioprine just as good as placebo

@geauxibd:New IBD diagnosis is growing at an alarming rate. Proper identification early in the disease changes outcomes!


Early treatment has been shown to be related to decreased costs, decreased complications and better outcomes.


Delayed treatment for IBD had been linked to increase costs not only immediately, but for years after.


IBD education will lead to earlier detection, intervention and decrease disease complications.


The lack of public awareness of IBD worsens disease complications secondary to long term unchecked inflammation.


Early intervention with aggressive treatment in Crohn's disease has shown a change in disease outcomes.


The new medicine Vedolizumab is now available for treatment of UC and Crohn's offering another medical treatment option with good safety.


IBD is a term that describes conditions with chronic or recurring immune response and inflammation of the GI Tract
