Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Program of the Jefferson Digestive Disease Institute:
Leaders in the diagnosis and treatment of Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and other forms of IBD

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory illnesses involving the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The most common forms of IBD are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Microscopic colitis is another type of IBD and includes both lymphocytic and collagenous colitis.

If you or someone you care about has IBD, you may be familiar with the chronic and potentially debilitating nature of these illnesses. Whether you seek a second opinion regarding the diagnosis and/or treatment for IBD or wish to establish care with one of our IBD experts, the IBD team at the Jefferson Digestive Disease Institute can help.

Our physicians are experienced in helping patients achieve and maintain remission – in other words, get well and stay well. We are active in clinical trials for IBD. Visit the University site to view a full list of our current research. Further, we closely collaborate with our colleagues in surgery, radiology, pathology and nutrition to provide a true multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of IBD.
