"Life and IBD" guides help close the
communication gap between patients and physicians
To help those
with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) be better informed and involved in
managing their disease, the European Foundation of Crohn's & Ulcerative

overwhelming experience with new physicians, medications, and terminology.
