Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is the umbrella term for two conditions that affect the gastrointestinal tract: Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These conditions are chronic, meaning they don’t have a cure, and symptoms may go dormant or come on again in episodes known as flare-ups.

These diseases are autoimmune conditions in which the body’s immune system attacks healthy tissue, which can result in damage to your digestive tract over time. Fortunately, there are certain ways you can control the symptoms of IBD, and diet is one important way to do so. Learn more about how what you eat can help you manage the symptoms of IBD here: https://bit.ly/3RMSHMX

For ongoing assistance managing IBD flare-ups, schedule with University Health Alliance's gastroenterologists by calling 762-356-4785!
