Getting older with inflammatory bowel disease - be that Crohn's or ulcerative colitis - comes with specific challenges and tailored decision-making with our healthcare teams.

This includes considering drug safety as we age, other conditions (co-morbidities) we develop as we get older, plus the safety of procedures - and much more besides.

So we are delighted to welcome to this episode Dr Adam Faye, gastroenterologist at NYU Langone in the US, who delivers a tour-de-force guide to ageing with IBD. Dr Faye specialises in this subject in his New York practice.

As ever, please let us know your feedback on the podcast - plus ideas for future subjects and guests.

We hope you enjoy this episode! And our warmest thanks to Dr Faye for donating his time so generously in the name of IBD patient education!
