Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a long-term condition that affects the digestive tract, causing inflammation and recurring symptoms such as abdominal pain, chronic diarrhoea, fatigue, and weight loss. The two main forms are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Without timely intervention, IBD can lead to severe complications including strictures, fistulas, and an increased risk of colon cancer.
In Mumbai, Dr. Harshad Joshi offers expert care for IBD with advanced diagnostic tools such as colonoscopy, double balloon enteroscopy, and targeted lab investigations. Accurate diagnosis is vital to tailor treatment for each patient’s unique condition.
Treatment plans may include medications like infliximab, adalimumab, ustekinumab, and vedolizumab, which help control inflammation and promote remission. Dietary management plays a key role, as certain foods may trigger flare-ups. Dr. Joshi also works closely with clinical nutrition specialists to ensure patients receive balanced nutrition that supports gut health.
Living with IBD requires consistent medical supervision. With the right approach, many patients achieve long-term symptom control and enjoy a better quality of life.
