Very Early Onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease (VEO-IBD) Program
Infants and children who have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from a very young age (younger than 5 years old) often have different symptoms than older children and adults with IBD. They also sometimes do not respond to traditional treatments for IBD. These children, who have what’s known as very early onset IBD (VEO-IBD), require specialized evaluation and targeted treatments.
