Purpose of this Study
We are doing this study to identify new signs and symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children and young adults. We want to improve at predicting the future course of IBD so that we can treat it better and faster. We also hope this study will help us learn how IBD develops so that we can make new treatments for IBD.
