Printed Patient Resource Materials

My IBD Backup Plan is a free fillable planning tool for young adults with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis who are preparing for college, work or independent living.

The worksheet provides one place to organize important IBD care information, including healthcare contacts, medications and refills, infusion or injection schedules, appointments, pharmacy information, bathroom planning, travel and food considerations, trusted contacts, flare instructions and school or workplace support.

Young adults can complete the plan with their healthcare team and family so they know who to call, what to do if symptoms worsen, and how to manage common IBD-related challenges away from home. It is designed to make everyday planning easier while supporting greater independence and confidence.
