Introduction to CCFA Arkansas Chapter and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Community Development Manager - Arkansas Kristin Trulock New Arkansas Chapter – January 2011

WELCOME Objectives: Provide basic information on inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) Introduction to the possible needs of an IBD patient How you can help with the success an IBD student CCFA Arkansas Chapter Services

What are Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBDs) Refers to chronic (ongoing) diseases that cause inflammation of the intestines: - Crohn's disease - Ulcerative colitis

Facts about Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (UC) 1.4 Million adults and children have Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis Over 14,000 Arkansans suffer in silence from these life altering digestive diseases Crohn’s and UC may occur in children of any age, but the usual onset is between 15 & 25 years of age. These diseases are not contagious They may cause delays in physical growth and puberty. Many children with IBD also have joint pain, skin rashes, eye problems, mouth sores and other conditions.

Crohn's Disease Is a chronic disorder that causes inflammation of the digestive or gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It can involve any area of the GI tract from the mouth to the anus, but it mostly affects the small intestine and/or colon.

Crohn's Disease: Common Symptoms Persistent diarrhea (loose, watery, or frequent bowel movements) Crampy abdominal pain Fever Rectal bleeding Loss of appetite and subsequent weight loss Fatigue Can also be constipation instead of diarrhea Note: Symptoms vary from person to person and may change over time

Ulcerative Colitis A chronic disease of the colon, or large intestine. The disease is marked by inflammation and ulceration of the colon mucosa, or innermost lining.

Ulcerative Colitis: Common Symptoms Diarrhea Mucus in the stool Bloody stools Urgency to have a bowel movement Crampy abdominal pain Loss of appetite and subsequent weight loss Fatigue Note: Symptoms vary from person to person and may change over time

What Causes IBD? Researchers believe that IBD is caused by several factors that work together to lead to the development of the disease, including genes, environmental factors or “triggers,” and an overactive immune system.

Diagnosing IBD A variety of tests are used to diagnose and monitor IBD Blood Test Upper GI and small bowel series tests Endoscopy and Colonoscopy

Treatment Because Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are considered chronic, meaning they can flare up after an initial remission, the goal of treatment is to achieve and maintain remission. Treatments can include medication, surgery, or nutritional therapies.

Treatment Class of DrugsExamples Aminosalicylates (5ASAs) - sulfasalazine (Azulfidine®) - olsalazine (Dipentum® - mesalamine (Asacol®, Pentasa®, - balsalazide (Colazal™) Lialda®,Rowasa®) Corticosteroids - budesonide (Entocort® EC) - prednisone (Deltasone®) - prednisolone (Pediapred Oral Liquid®, Medrol®) Immunomodulators - azathioprine (Imuran®, Azasan®) - methotrexate - 6-MP (Purinethol®) - cyclosporine (Sandimmune®, Gengraf®, Neoral®) Antibiotics - metronidazole (Flagyl®) - ciprofloxacin (Cipro®, Proquin®) Biologic therapies - Infliximab (Remicade®) - natalizumab (Tysabri®) - adalimumab (Humira®) - Certolizumab (Cimzia®)

Possible School Accommodations Students may have different needs for accommodations based on level of disease activity. Unlimited bathroom pass – including access to non-automatic toilets “Stop the clock” testing Ability to hydrate Supply Bag Rest period Ability to self-monitor activity levels

WAYS TO SUPPORT IBD PATIENTS The diagnosis of a chronic illness can be a tough blow for anyone, but for children, it can be especially hard to bear. As a result, children with IBD may become: Anxious Depressed Clingy Dependent Agitated

WAYS TO SUPPORT IBD PATIENTS Remember these diseases are individualized Depending on their age, children cope differently with these chronic intestinal diseases. Social adjustments Taking medications during school hours School accommodations Provide information on CCFA for patients and parents

WHAT WE DO Provide support, family gatherings, educational seminars and walks to raise funds for research. Power of 2 program – program that connects patients with others going through similar situations Camp Oasis – summer camp for IBD kids Brochures, online services and IRC number.
