IBD Resources
These are a few resources for IBDers and your caregivers where you can find science-backed research, help finding a physician, and the support and stories of other patients like you. These resources are primarily US-based, but many may serve patients world-wide.
This is not a comprehensive list! But a great place to start if you’re looking to connect with others and better understand your disease.
