Alder Hey site team

The “Being Me” study is one of several studies looking at inflammatory bowel disease in younger people at Alder Hey. These include collaborating in “registry” studies that monitor IBD and its response to treatment over time, a study evaluating an “electronic nose” in initial diagnosis and also a study starting soon to see whether the first milk of cows helps to improve gut health in Crohn’s disease.
