Parents and families with a loved one or friend diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis.

When you first learn about Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), it is natural to feel overwhelmed. You need answers to so many questions: Will I be able to work, travel, exercise? Could my medication have side effects? Should I be on a special diet? How will others react to my illness?

Learning all you can is an important step toward taking charge of your life. “Advances in IBD 2023” is an inspirational program that will help you do just that – take charge of your life.

This one-day program features presentations by prominent health care professionals in the fields of medical and surgical treatments of IBD.

Attendees will also have an opportunity to speak with an infusion nurse specialist, a dietician, ostomy care professionals and a representative regarding currently enrolling clinical trials at the IBD Center.

In addition, on-site exhibitors will showcase their newest products and services.

This program is presented by the Iowa Inflammatory Bowel Disease Fund for Patient Education and Research in collaboration with the Iowa Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center, Iowa Digestive Disease Center and Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America – Iowa Chapter.
