Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinic

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a group of chronic intestinal disorders that includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, can be uncomfortable, painful and disruptive to your daily routine and overall quality of life.

The Vanderbilt Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinic uses a variety of treatments – including functional medicine – to provide personalized care and management of IBD. Our team includes physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, a social worker and a psychologist. They work together to offer long-term relief for IBD symptoms, to minimize flare-ups and to help you achieve longer periods of remission.
