The American Gastroenterological Association has expanded its Patient INFO Center with a resource guide on inflammatory bowel disease and pregnancy.
Here's what you need to know:
1. The guide is geared towards IBD patients who are either pregnant or looking to conceive.
2. It answers frequently asked patient questions, like " How do I get treated if I have a flare during pregnancy?" and "Can I breastfeed on medication?"
3. The guide was written with Sunanda V. Kane, MD, a gastroenterologist at the Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic.
