Free registration may be required to access some articles. From time to time, websites and blogs and other publications make claims that CCFC endorses a treatment or product as a “cure” for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Any significant news and announcements involving CCFC and IBD research advances will be posted here, on our own website. If you have any questions or concerns about the credibility of any claims you see related to CCFC or IBD treatment or research advances, please contact us at ccfc@ccfc.ca.
