This study is creating a research registry for people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Instead of testing a new treatment, this registry collects your existing medical information related to your IBD. The goal is to better understand IBD and factors that affect its course, which could help develop new treatments in the future. You can join if you are 18 or older and receive care at the Center for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Clinic at UPMC. The study aims to include 5000 patients, and researchers will track the number of patients with IBD over 20 years.
