Buying medication

New situations such as moving into a new apartment or traveling can be a source of stress and worry on their own. Add IBD to the mix, and you also have to cope with running to the bathroom every five minutes or trying to find IBD-safe food in a foreign language.

This section offers tips for dealing with all of these things and more. Here you'll also learn about changing doctors -- that's right, you eventually will have to leave your pediatrician for an adult doctor -- and buying the medications you need to help manage your IBD.
