👉 Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a condition that affects more than 179,000 Australians, with many of these young or working-age adults.

A/Professor Gareth Walker and his team at the RBWH are today marking Inflammatory Bowel Disease Awareness Day to highlight the challenges faced by people living with IBD.

“Symptoms of IBD can be severe, and range from abdominal pain to diarrhoea, fatigue and fever,” A/Professor Walker said.

“At the RBWH, our team see around 2,000 patients each year, including more than 800 regional patients through one of Australia’s largest telehealth programs.”

Patient Emma says that certain lifestyle factors can prevent or minimise symptoms of IBD. 👍

“Through a combination of anti-inflammatory medications as well as adopting a healthy lifestyle and dietary choices, my symptoms are more manageable and I feel able to work and enjoy my life,” she said.

The team at the RBWH are continuing to research the condition with the Queensland Institute of Medical Research and University of Queensland.

“We are excited to launch new research studies including the effect of an anti-inflammatory diet on IBD symptoms and how smartphone apps and point-of-care stool testing can be used to monitor symptoms and inflammation,” A/Professor Walker said.
