Researchers in Edinburgh are looking for people with #Crohns and #Colitis to take part in their @predicct#bigdata study, looking into the causes of flares in #IBD.
It is v striking how the IBD population will age over the coming years.
We hope to have lots more data to share from this study v soon.
Meantime a massive thanks to @Gastro_GRJ for tirelessly driving this forwards & the whole team for their efforts. We're all going for a beer!
NEWSFLASH: 1 in 125 people in Edinburgh have #IBD. We now know this from a v detailed study we have just finished. Due to compounding prevalence the number is increasing rapidly & will be >1.0% by end 2028.
@Gastro_GRJ is presenting on this now at #ECCO19 - a huge piece of work
Many people with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis report poor sleep but this has not been well studied.
In @predicct we use the validated Pittsburgh sleep questionnaire at basline.
This will provide valuable data on factors associated with poor sleep in #IBD.
Diet and #IBD: are you eating the right food? Are you confused about what to eat?
So are we. The simple truth is that we don’t know what the right diet is for most people living with IBD.
@predicct aims to find out which aspects of diet are associated with disease flare.
How does diet, lifestyle and the gut microbiome affect the chances of a disease flare in #IBD? @predicct is aiming to find out.

@ScotRail are there any trains heading south from Edinburgh towards the England? Was planning on going to Birmingham but this now doesn't seem to be a great idea!
If we can't cure or prevent #IBD yet ... let's at least work out how to prevent disease flare and disease progression ... no one else is doing this. Help us - join or invest in @predicct ... WE are leading the way in IBD. We will make a difference. Message me NOW if you can help.
