Important for Pregnant Moms with #IBD treated with biologics (esp. anti TNF #infliximab #adalimumab) to avoid live vaccines in newborns until > 12months. Speak with physician for individualized recommendations and tell your pediatricians what meds you are on.

“Inflammation” is a generic term, not a condition or a diagnosis. There are numerous causes & effects (some beneficial) inside the human body.

Anyone who claims a ___
Food
Supplement
Natural product

Can treat/cure “inflammation” is at best oversimplifying & at worst deceiving

[Tauseef Ali MD, FACG AGAF FACP @ibdtweets]

@KTPARKMD Agree. I always tell patients we need to stay 2 steps ahead of your Crohns. More proactive adjustment and early adjustment is possibly the key to success. Unfortunately stumped by insurance companies almost all the time. #ibd

Here's what could put you at risk of developing #ulcerativecolitis. | by @aboutIBD via @Verywell https://t.co/v3KSi7rGV7

[David T. Rubin, MD @IBDMD]

@ibddoctor Yes. As I’ve said before- “fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me!” If a patient declares that they are an “antibody-former” then protect them with the next therapy.

[Jeremy Adler, MD, MSc @JeremyAdlerMD]

@ibddoctor This is very important. Once a patient has developed antibodies against one biologic drug, they are likely to do it again. Need to prevent this with the next drug so don’t run out of medication options. #IBD #crohns #ulcerativecolitis

Current therapies for #IBD with a few key pointers:

- do not use 5ASA medicines in #Crohn's disease

- avoid excess use of steroids

- azathioprine & MP are maintenance agents (so should not be used to induce remssion)

- anti-TNF therapy works best when started early
