From diagnosis to treatment: how much do you know about the process?

Last week, our Patient Education Advisors from the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) walked us through their Treat-to-target (T2T) plan for IBD therapy, which showed different stages and targets (short-term, intermediate, and long-term). The ultimate goal is for patients to achieve remission and improve their quality of life. Seeing this chart helped me be aware of what questions I need to ask my healthcare provider as I go through my journey with this disease so that I can make the best possible decisions for myself.
