Even when bloodwork looks stable and symptoms are quiet, many people find themselves scanning their body for early warning signs, wondering if today is the day things turn.

New research presented at a Brazilian medical conference suggests that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, has become far more common in Brazil over the past decade.
