This week in IBD research: biologic switching patterns from Brazil (38% switch rate), a systematic review on vaping that actually acknowledges its limits, plus preclinical work on black licorice compounds.

None of it changes my treatment tomorrow — but useful context for ongoing conversations.

𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀:
- Prefer a diet rich in complex carbs, fiber, fruits, and vegetables.

World IBD Day

Many people living with IBD manage symptoms others never see.

Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis can affect daily life through fatigue, pain, unpredictability, and stress, even when someone appears completely well externally.

Insights shared through My Patient Advice often highlight how awareness and supportive communication help people feel less isolated while managing chronic conditions.
