IBD Patients vs Doctors

The Internet has transformed the way IBD patients and gastroenterologists interact by providing access to medical information and support groups. In this video, our panelists explore how these digital resources are reshaping the doctor-patient relationship, highlighting the conflicts and opportunities that arise. With more IBD patients experimenting with biohacking and fecal transplants, tensions are growing as many doctors do not approve of these self-directed treatments. Discover how this shift in knowledge and accessibility calls for a new model of collaboration between IBD patients and their doctors.
