Resources
IBDU is dedicated to bringing educational resources to all people with IBD.
So often doctors fail to see their patients holistically and information falls through the cracks. We hope to empower young people with IBD by providing knowledge we deserve to have.
With these resources we aim to give:
- an understanding of our disease and medications
- an awareness of all approaches and options to IBD management
- an opportunity to learn from one another's experiences
- a confident approach to navigating relationships with IBD

Professors Guide to IBD
Professors Guide to IBD was made for college professors everywhere. Through this educational guide, we strive to give professors a valuable and fair perspective on what it's like to be a student with IBD. We hope that the creation of this guide will allow you to advocate for yourself without forcing vulnerability from you.
