Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Coping with Crohn’s and Colitis

Inflammatory Bowel Disease accounts for 250,000 doctor visits, 20,000 hospitalizations, and the loss of more than 1 million workdays every year. This program examines the two predominant types of IBD: Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Health professionals and patients discuss various medications being used; surgical options, including the ileal pouch anal anastomosis and strictureplasty; and the importance of nutrition, education, and support groups in improving the quality of day-to-day life for patients and their families. Diagrams, X-rays, and endoscopic imaging enhance this documentary. (23 minutes)
