Your Life, Your Hormones, Your IBD: Women's Health at Every Stage

Your Life, Your Hormones, Your IBD: Women's Health at Every Stage

Overview

Join us for a day of learning, connection, and community—because women’s health and IBD care should evolve together.

Living with IBD is more than managing symptoms—it’s about caring for your whole life.

The Women’s Health in IBD Conference 2026 is a one-day experience designed specifically for women navigating Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis at every stage of life. Women with IBD face unique challenges—and deserve care that reflects that reality.

This conference brings together leading experts in gastroenterology, women’s health, nutrition, mental health, and others to explore how IBD affects women. You’ll learn how medical therapies fit into a broader “toolbox” of care, including lifestyle strategies, mental well-being, and emerging innovations that support long-term health.

Whether you are newly diagnosed, planning a pregnancy, navigating hormonal changes, or simply looking to feel your best with IBD, this conference offers practical guidance, evidence-based education, and empowering conversations—designed to meet you where you are. If you have any questions regarding the event please send an email to groupibdwomensprogram@cshs.org.
