What is inflammatory bowel disease?
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition that involves inflammation in the digestive tract. There are two primary types of IBD: ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. In ulcerative colitis, inflammation only affects the mucosa of the large intestine. In Crohn’s disease, inflammation can affect any part of the digestive tract and penetrate through all layers of the bowel wall. Symptoms can be mild to severe and include diarrhea, rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, weight loss, constipation, fever, and anemia. There’s no cure for IBD, so treatment focuses on achieving remission through medications and, sometimes, surgery.
Understanding IBD: Survey Invitation
The Gastrointestinal Society invites you to take part in a survey so they can learn about the unmet needs of people living with inflammatory bowel disease (primarily Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis).
All information collected will be anonymized and used in aggregate to shape future programming and to inform community members, healthcare professionals, and health policy decision-makers.
Participants who complete the survey are eligible for a free one-year subscription to the Gastrointestinal Society’s quarterly Inside Tract® PDF newsletter.
