IBD Education Day: A Forum for Parents, Young Adults and Children

Life isn’t always easy — especially for those who have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) [https://www.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/inflammatory-bowel-disease]. But IBD shouldn’t hold anyone back. During our 27th Annual Inflammatory Bowel Disease EDUCATION DAY, a panel of health specialists will explore the aspects of living with Crohn’s disease [https://www.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/crohns-disease] and ulcerative colitis [https://www.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/ulcerative-colitis]. A unique group of experts — patients who suffer from IBD — will talk openly about how they cope with their disease. Topics will include: * Current and Future Therapies for IBD * Hot Topics in IBD Research * What to Eat for a Healthy Gut * Information from Integrative Health [https://www.chop.edu/centers-programs/integrative-health] (title of presentation TBD) * And more!
