Living Beyond IBD: A Patient's Experience With EIMs and the Case for Multidisciplinary Care.

Abstract

This editorial explores the complex relationship between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs) and underscores the clinician's critical need for comprehensive EIM care, as well as the physical and emotional burden imposed on the patient. The editorial concludes with actionable steps for clinicians and a call to advance IBD care with a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach that acknowledges the various challenges faced by patients. Together, we can transform the IBD journey into a partnership built on understanding, support, and shared hope.
