If you suffer from inflammatory bowel disease, you're far from alone. Conditions such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are becoming more and more common.
Inflammatory bowel disease usually emerges when people are in their late teens to early 20s. It can be painful and debilitating, and interfere with your personal relationships, schooling and career.
At the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, we want to put you back in control of your life. We're known nationally and internationally for excellence in treating ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and other inflammatory conditions of the intestines. Our doctors are active in research and can offer you access to the latest and most promising therapies.
We understand you have a lot going on your life. So we try to set up appointments promptly and to minimize disruptions to your family, school or work schedules.
At your first visit, we aim to diagnose your problem or, if applicable, confirm a previous diagnosis you've received. Conventional treatments for inflammatory bowel disease include anti-inflammatory, immune suppressive and immune modulatory drugs and, at times, antibiotics. If you may benefit from alternative therapies, we can walk you through your options. We may also discuss clinical trials at Tufts MC that provide access to promising new medications.
In caring for patients, we often collaborate with other experts throughout Tufts MC. Radiologists and gastrointestinal pathologists may assist with diagnosis, while nutrition specialists may lend their insight on issues such as dietary changes.
For some patients, surgery is the best option for treating inflammatory bowel disease or repairing damage that has already occurred. In these cases, we work with Tufts MC colorectal surgeons, other surgical specialists and endoscopists to determine the right surgical approach for you.
We realize that dealing with inflammatory bowel disease can be very challenging. But at Tufts MC, we have the knowledge and experience to help you lead a normal life.
