CDHNF's Webcast for Families Affected by IBD

According to the webcast, the incidence of IBD in children is getting younger and younger and is being seen in areas of the world that didn't used to have IBD. About 7-10% of children are now being diagnosed at age 5 or below. Whether the changes in incidence of IBD is due to environment, diet or some other cause is unclear. What is clear is that we need to educate ourselves on the disease and its effects on our children in order to provide them with the best quality of life.

Tune in next month as I share with you information about talking with your child's doctor and school regarding IBD.
