The first of its kind in Houston and
the Southwest,
Texas Children's Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center offers a
comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and
treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in pediatric patients.
A team of pediatric specialists in
gastroenterology, hepatology, nutrition, rheumatology, surgery and
social work provide individualized care, education and cutting-edge
research to help patients and families manage the long-term aspects
of the disease. The team also provides support for patients and
families in dealing with difficult issues related to IBD and its
symptoms.
As one of the six founding members of
the National Pediatric IBD Consortium, Texas Children’s Inflammatory
Bowel Disease Center is able to offer its patients access to the
latest advances in therapies through clinical trials.
Real Life: On your own with

prescriptions, ways to talk to your friends and teachers about IBD,
ideas for managing stress and links to other Web resources.
