Fast Facts for Patients and their Supporters: Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease

About this book

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is in fact two long-term conditions – ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease – that cause problems in the digestive system. No two patients with IBD have the same experience. How the disease progresses, the type of complications and the response to treatment all differ from person to person. The information in this booklet is designed to help you and your family better understand your IBD, its treatment and how you can help yourself. With simple clear illustrations, explanation of medical terms and space to write down the questions you want to ask your doctor or nurse, this resource will help you take control of your condition.
