Your modifiable risk factors, turned into a plan
Dr. Rob is prototyping a Modifiable Risk Factor Motivator widget on Stroke first. When it ships it embeds right here — turning each Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)-relevant risk factor into a tracked, evidence-backed action.

“I have inflammatory bowel disease — Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis. My immune system attacks my GI tract, causing inflammation, pain, diarrhea, and sometimes more. I’m on biologics or other immune-modulating medication. I wanted you to know because severe abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, persistent fever, or signs of obstruction are emergencies. And I’m immunosuppressed — infections hit me harder.”

Crohn's vs UC
Both autoimmune. Crohn's anywhere GI; UC colon only. Treatments overlap.
Why Biologics Matter
Anti-TNF, anti-integrin, anti-IL-12/23 etc. revolutionized IBD.
Spot Emergencies
Perforation · severe bleeding · obstruction · sepsis — 911.
Triggers
Stress, NSAIDs, antibiotics, certain foods, smoking (Crohn's), missed meds.
Disease Extent
Where + how severe — drives treatment intensity and surveillance.
Daily Adherence
Biologics need scheduled doses. Missing builds resistance and flares.
Lab Monitoring
Inflammation markers, drug levels, immune cell counts.
Diet Strategies
Highly individual. Some triggers universal (high-fiber during flare).
Vaccines + Travel
No live vaccines on biologics. Travel meds careful.
Make Every Visit Count
Bring symptom diary, bowel pattern, weight, biologic schedule.
Your Care Team
Gastroenterologist (IBD specialist), surgeon, dietitian, sometimes rheum.
Tracking Apps
Bowel diary apps, biologic reminders, food trigger logging.
Insurance + Biologic Cost
Most expensive class of meds. Manufacturer assistance vital.
Teach & Mentor
IBD is invisible and isolating. Survivors-helping-survivors valuable.
Advocate
Bathroom access laws, biologic coverage, research funding.
Research & Trials
Newer biologics, microbiome therapeutics, oral small molecules.
