Some take-aways about complementary therapies from #AIBD2024:
1️⃣Treatment does not need to be either/or (use different approaches!)
2️⃣Pain and IBD is complex ↔️ use a multidisciplinary approach
3️⃣There are some promising nutraceuticals for gut repair
4️⃣Cannabis: ✔️symptoms but 🚫 disease remission
When it comes to pain and IBD: "Pain [in general] is present in ~70% of people with IBD, and persists in 1/3 of patients after endoscopic healing is achieved." #AIBD2024 #CAM #complementarytherapy
Looking for #community? "The #Crohn’s and #Colitis Young Adults Network (CCYAN) is a nonprofit created and led by young adults with #IBD. We aim to improve the care of young adults with IBD by driving research, systems change, and creation of clinician- and patient- facing resources." 💜💛
