Excellent overview on personalized #IBD therapy for #crohnsdisease complications by @MRegueiroMD at #AIBD2024. Take home point: failure of medical therapy is an adverse event that could be serious!

Hi to all the fresh & familiar faces here.

I’m doing my part & attempting starter packs for #IBDFamily & #Ostomates. These are who’ve spoken 𝐏𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐘 about these.

IBD Family: go.bsky.app/9sySUqv
Ostomy Family: go.bsky.app/LYbv12w

If there’s other packs already created, I’m happy to merge.
