Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a condition that involves chronic inflammation of the intestines. It is estimated that IBD impacts 40,000 people in Ireland, affecting all genders equally.1 It can be diagnosed at any age, with peak incidences between ages 15-35 and 50-70.
