Coping With IBD While in Military Service With Dr Anish Patel

What do all the new oral drugs available for treating IBD have to do with military service? Being diagnosed with IBD might mean leaving the military for some service members. Part of the reason is that it's not possible to be deployed while receiving a drug that's an injection or an infusion. But when a medication works well and happens to be in pill form: that's a game-changer. Dr Anish Patel, the Medical Director of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at Brooke Army Medical Center gives an update on how IBD is treated in the military, what he sees on the horizon for IBD, and his best advice for every patient living with a chronic illness.
