Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Crohn's & Ulcerative Colitis
IBD involves chronic, long-term inflammation of the digestive tract. It is primarily comprised of two unique conditions: Crohn’s disease (which can affect any part of the GI tract) and Ulcerative Colitis (which is limited to the large bowel).
Symptoms Looked For
Persistent diarrhea (often containing blood or mucus), or sometimes constipation (from intermittent bowel obstruction), abdominal pain, fatigue, urgent bowel movements, and unexplained weight loss.
How is this condition treated?
There is no cure for inflammatory bowel disease either Crohn’s or Ulcerative colitis. The goal of treatment is to achieve true clinical and deep tissue remission. The exact treatments will vary on severity, type and location of inflammatory bowel disease. This includes holistic treatment from dietary changes, oral medications as well as advanced biologic therapy. Our clinic specializes in cutting-edge, comprehensive IBD management.
