Treatment depends on location of disease, severity and other factors. Main advice is make sure that your GI doctor has a lot of experience treating IBD, ideally someone who focuses mainly or exclusively on IBD, e.g., at an academic center.
Your specialist will be able to guide you about the different lines of treatment for IBD. It’s a discussion you must have with your Gastroenterologist who diagnosed you. Please be compliant with your meds as well as with your follow up visits to your physician’s office.
