What if we knew which patients would have severe Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis? And which wouldn't? How about if we could tell which drug would work best in which patient? Knowing these things would change how inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is diagnosed and treated. Plus, more importantly: it would improve lives. Dr Andres Hurtado-Lorenzo, Vice President of Translational research and IBD Ventures at the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation explains biomarkers and how they may play into the future of how IBD is diagnosed, managed, and treated.

There aren't as many men who are vocal in the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) space as there are women. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis affect men as often as they do women, but fewer men seem comfortable being public about their disease. That's why Carlos "CJ" Cabrera, who also goes by CJ Papuro, entered the IBD community after his diagnosis of Crohn's. He gives an overview of how difficult it was to be diagnosed as a US veteran using the Veterans Health Administration, his struggles with finding his way with nutrition, the ways in which IBD has affected him as a man, and his advice for other men.

When it comes to people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis serving in the military, the usual policy is that the two things are incompatible. The reason being that people living with an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) need care and treatments that are incompatible with being deployed. However, sometimes there are other considerations, as Dr Daniel Rausa describes. Dr Rausa was diagnosed with Crohn's disease while serving in the Navy, and he has advice for people who live with an IBD and want to serve or who want to pursue a medical career. He also describes why it's so important to follow up and stay on top of transition of care when leaving military service.
