Editorial standards

Clarity, useful context and honest attribution.

We explain IBD topics in plain language and link to sources such as government health agencies and established patient organizations. Our content should give readers a useful next step without diagnosing them or recommending an individual treatment.

Authors and review

Organization-authored guides are labeled The IBD Community. We do not display a medical-review badge unless a named qualified reviewer has completed that review. Guides without a named reviewer do not claim independent medical review.

Dates and updates

Publication dates describe when a guide was first published or prepared for this site. An update date means its content changed. We do not change dates just to make an article look new.

Stories and images

We do not invent patient stories or testimonials. Any personal contribution requires permission. The current photographic illustrations were generated to depict everyday settings and do not represent actual patients or their experiences.

Research information

Our research guides explain how clinical trials work, what participation may involve, and questions to discuss with your care team.
