May 19 is World IBD Day. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a group of chronic, relapsing conditions that cause inflammation in the digestive tract, including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis as well as microscopic colitis. 

Symptoms vary widely depending on the specific condition and can affect other parts of the body, significantly impacting a person's quality of life.

 As the experts in digestive and metabolic medicine, we strive to develop products, forms of therapy and the field of ‘gastroenterology and hepatology’ as a whole – and have been doing so for over 60 years. That’s why we support today’s World IBD Day in raising awareness for these diseases. Let’s talk about it, let’s break taboos - together!
