IBD Clinics

We run special IBD clinic on every FIRST THURSDAY of each month. IBD means Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and includes diseases like Ulcerative Colitis, Chron’s Disease, etc. On that day we arrange special lectures regarding education about the disease, need for continuation of medications, diet, importance of exercise, etc.

 

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a term that describes disorders involving long-standing (chronic) inflammation of tissues in your digestive tract. Types of IBD include:

  • Ulcerative colitis. This condition involves inflammation and sores (ulcers) along the lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum.
  • Crohn’s disease. This type of IBD is characterized by inflammation of the lining of your digestive tract, which often can involve the deeper layers of the digestive tract. Crohn’s disease most commonly affects the small intestine. However, it can also affect the large intestine and uncommonly, the upper gastrointestinal tract.
