🎙️ Honored to present at the Annual APPNA Meeting in Dallas – July 12, 2025!

I had the opportunity to speak on “Inflammatory Bowel Disease for Primary Care Providers”—highlighting early diagnosis, multidisciplinary collaboration, and common pitfalls in outpatient management.

💡 Key Takeaways:

Don’t mistake IBS for IBD—especially in pediatric or geriatric patients.

Watch for steroid overuse and adherence issues.

PCPs are critical partners in vaccination, mental health, and cancer prevention.

IBD care works best when GI, PCPs, dietitians, psychologists, and surgeons team up.

Family History & Your IBD Risk
(What You Need to Know)

1. Family Link
[👨‍👩‍👦‍👦] Up to 1 in 5 people with IBD have a family member with the disease.
First-degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) are at higher risk.
2. Who’s More at Risk?
[🌍] More common in White and Ashkenazi Jewish populations.
[🧬] Risk is higher for Crohn’s disease than Ulcerative Colitis.
3. Special Patterns
[👩‍👧] Crohn’s may pass from mother to daughter more often.
No strong pattern seen in fathers or sons.
4. Risk in Children
[👼] If both parents have IBD, the risk for the child is up to 30%.
If only one parent has IBD, risk is much lower.
5. Good News
[💓] Family-related IBD doesn’t usually mean more severe symptoms.
Having a relative with IBD doesn't mean you’ll get it.
