As part of my B.Ed 4 Home Economics research dissertation I am conducting research on Inflammatory Bowel Disease and in particular focusing on the two main diseases Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease.
As part of this research I am looking to identify:
- the growing prevalence of IBD within society
- some of the causes of IBD
- symptoms of IBD
- treatments currently available and future therapies as well as
- identify how society can raise awareness of IBD.
If you or anyone you know suffers from the disease please feel free to leave a comment for example:
- -What foods you find aggravate the condition?
- -What symptoms did you first present with?
- -What treatments are you currently receiving (are these treatments working)?
- -How would you promote education of the disease to raise awareness?
- -In general comment on how you lead your life living with this condition.
