As a mum too, I know how worrying IBD can be when symptoms start affecting your daily routine and you still have your family to look after. I was having frequent diarrhoea, abdominal pain and rectal bleeding, so I decided to see Dr Kieron Lim, a trusted IBD specialist in Singapore. My treatment included medication to reduce the inflammation and control the symptoms, with regular follow-ups. The treatment can vary depending on whether it is Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis and how severe the condition is..
