In this article on Lianhe Zao Bao, Dr Chok Aik Yong shares that while inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) was once mostly seen in patients in their 50s and 60s, more cases are now appearing in people in their 20s and 30s. He attributes this trend to the Westernisation of diets which disrupt gut bacteria and trigger abnormal immune reactions. He provides a brief overview on IBD’s symptoms, conditions and treatment options.
