Your first appointment in our IBD clinic is essential for setting up contact with your IBD specialist who can then start making changes to get your disease under control.
The goal of your subsequent follow-up appointments is to review the results of your latest tests and investigations, monitor treatment progress, set up new goals, and ensure that you are provided with the best possible IBD care.
If you respond well to methotrexate you will usually remain on it for many months and perhaps several years, providing your blood tests are satisfactory.
