Caroline Horvatits, a 26-year-old chef, faced severe health challenges when diagnosed with ulcerative colitis during high school. After struggling with ineffective treatments, she shifted focus to her diet. The landscape of treatment options for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease has greatly evolved over the last decade. Bruce Sands, a gastroenterologist, notes that advancements in medicine have led to better management of inflammatory bowel diseases, improving outcomes for millions of patients in the U.S. These diseases cause unpredictable and painful flare-ups, but new medications have revolutionized care.
"When gastroenterologist Bruce Sands started practicing 30 years ago, large numbers of his IBD patients couldn't be helped. But much has changed, especially in the past 10 years."
"There are far more possible— and precisemedications for the more than two million American adults and more than 100,000 children and adolescents with colitis or the other major form of IBD, Crohn's disease."
