The first journals have arrived. How I Feel With Crohn’s/Ulcerative Colitis will be available next week as a free download. This comprehensive & compassionate resource is designed to inspire, comfort, and empower children living with #IBD.
Absolutely agree. Thank you for pointing this out. I was waiting for the #bileacids comments in this thread. Would include dietary interventions as well. While current bile acid binders may not work sufficiently for all patients, the combination of ileal disease and the role of…
Suggests that a trial of bile acid binders should be part of the run-in to clinical trials in CD (ileal disease or prior resection). This is part of what makes CD so noisy (along with fibrosis, obstruction, penetrating disease, etc)
To all #bileacids enthusiasts: this is an interesting post/newsletter!
1/2 There is a drug called ursodeoxycholic acid that dissolves gallstones. Urso means “bear” in Latin. Why is it called that? Why does our OSOPOLAR (POLAR BEAR) clinical trial have that name?
Happy to share our study on #EEN in #CrohnsDisease: ✅Early assessment by week 3 predicts remission at end of therapy ✅Adherence = better outcomes ✅Frequent dietitian review boosts completion rates 💡 Dietetic support is crucial to successful EEN therapy onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jg…
Another great read on #bileacids metabolism. “T6SS-mediated antagonism regulates the structure and composition of gut microbiota, affecting the entire gut metabolome, particularly the bile acids metabolism, subsequently reducing inflammation response in the intestine and…

A shout-out to @UBC researchers who are refining a targeted drug delivery system -- GlycoCaging -- that could avert the systemic side effects of steroids and other #IBD medications. globalnews.ca/video/11160379… #crohns #crohnsdisease #ulcerativecolitis
We are excited to present our recent virtual discussion with Dr. @JoanaTo62523004, who brings us up to date on the latest in #IBD prediction and prevention! She shares with us the remarkable headway that researchers are making in predicting disease risk years before onset, as…
There's still time to submit for this year's @NASPGHAN foundation grants for 2025! 💸With grants available at all career levels and interests, spanning from Carbohydrate malabsorption to Liver disease!!! Grant submissions due on 7/1!! tinyurl.com/jcu2shwk
🔬A very interesting research poster presented at the #ECCO2025 conference in Berlin this year by Van der Kruk et al. highlighted microbially conjugated bile acids (MCBAs) as potential biomarkers for dietary therapy outcomes in pediatric patients with Crohn’s disease. ❗️In…
We need your help to gain a greater perspective on this topic, please help us with your insights This would be much appreciated

Thanks to your support, THREE Propel a Cure sponsored research projects are challenging the status quo & offering real hope for better treatments—and a cure—for #crohnsdisease. On Propel a Cure Giving Day and #WorldIBDDay, your gift fuels the kind of bold, outside-the-box…
🌎 Today, on World IBD Day, I am raising awareness for an often overlooked and underrecognized condition in IBD: bile acid malabsorption (BAM). Timely diagnosis and the use of current treatments, such as dietary interventions and medications, are crucial in improving quality of…
The first time I learned about the potential role of bile acids in IBD was through Propel a Cure's @propelacure excellent video research library ➡️ propelacure.org/videos Focusing on bile acid malabsorption (BAM) appeared to be one of the key components that helped me achieve…
We’re back with another poster at #DDW2025! 🧪 Phenotypic screening for epithelial repair in IBD 📅 May 5 | 12:30–1:30 PM PT 👤 Presenter: Jarrett Bliton 📍 Stop by Booth #4757! 🔗hubs.ly/Q03jY3j80 #GastroResearch #IBD #RepliGut
🚨 Landmark publication alert! 🌍 A big step forward in the complex world of perianal disease and IBD: the first diagnostic criteria for isolated perianal Crohn’s disease (#ipCD), from the TOpClass consortium. A move toward earlier diagnosis & standardised care. 👏 Congrats to…
📣Big news! Propel a Cure has pledged $100,000 to support a groundbreaking 2-year Crohn’s disease study at the Ghosh Lab at @UCSanDiego. This cutting-edge research could uncover new treatments that target the root causes of Crohn’s, not just symptoms. Visit…
Think that meds are all that matter for ulcerative colitis? Think again. In our 4-year PREdiCCt study of 2,500 people, we uncovered three game-changers for flare risk: meat intake, mood, and moving more. It’s time to look beyond just drugs—catch the full story in the video…
Our study on how diet may regulate the gut phageome-bacteriome interaction relaying to a disease protection, #IBD, is freshly out at @Gut_BMJ gut.bmj.com/content/early/…
Thank you for this study and for shedding more light on the impact of setons on outcomes in perianal fistulas. It’s interesting how some long-standing practices may not always yield the expected results. I hope we see more research that brings relief and leads to better…
The impact of setons on perianal fistula outcomes is unclear. After controlling for confounding, setons were not associated with improved fistula outcomes in patients treated with anti-TNF therapy. Read the full paper via bit.ly/4iCZzHW #GItwitter #IBD #fistula
