Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

En España la prevalencia de la IBD es más baja que en Canadá, afectando aproximadamente a 1 de cada 900 personas, es decir, a unos 50.000 ciudadanos. Pero aún así, debemos preocuparnos, puesto que el número de nuevos casos cada año va en aumento.

As someone who has suffered from severe Crohns disease from the age of ten i truly appreciate the fine and well laid out facts in this video, i will be using it from now on to help explain my illness to others and hopefully help a few others by passing on the knowledge :)

This video reminded me of when learning was amazing and fun and rewarding, instead of boring and tiresome and dreary, which is what it became in high school.

I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease at age 18 but my Mom said I had symptoms from age 3 on...I'm 48 now. When I was diagnosed the stats for Canada showed approx 200, 000 Canadians had CD. I am appalled to see how much it has spread in 30 years. Thank you for this informative video Dr. Mike. I wish it had of been around when I was diagnosed because I think it would have taken the fear out my diagnosis. And for those who are suffering and haven't heard yet there is a vaccine going into human trials December 2016 in the UK...I truly believe we are just a few years away from a cure for Crohn's!!
