What is inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)?
Inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, affects millions of people worldwide. Many suffer frequent flare-ups of these chronic diseases, but treatment can help. The gastroenterologists at the Frederick F. Paustian Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center understand how IBD disrupts gut function and can run necessary tests to determine the disease source and best treatment options.
