Growing Up with IBD:
A Forum for Parents and Children
Sunday, February 24, 2013
Life isn’t always easy ... especially for the thousands of youngsters who have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). But kids can still be kids .... even with IBD.
A panel of health specialists will explore the aspects of living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. A unique group of experts — teens who suffer from IBD — will talk openly about how they cope with their disease.
