Ulcerative colitis and diet

Aim: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD); ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) are chronic pathologies affecting young adults. Pregnancy and IBD are multidimensional and could be affected by many variables. In this study, we aimed to present our pregnants with IBD, and their clinical management and pregnancy outcomes. Material and method: Pregnants with IBD were retrospectively evaluated and grouped as those with UC and CD. A total of nine cases were included in this study. Results: The mean age of the patients was 28.5 ± 4.9 years. The mean gravida and parity numbers were 2.6 ± 1 and 1.55 ± 1.13 respectively. Six patients with IBD had UC, and three patients had CD. Two patients were newly diagnosed, and seven patients had a history of IBD. The mean gestational week of the eight patients was 34.2 ± 4.55 weeks. The mean birth weight, and first and fifth minute APGAR scores of the eight patients were 2530 ± 956 gr, 7.6 ± 0.91 and 8.87 ± 0.83, respectively (n=8). Conclusion: IBD affects a large group of women of childbearing age. Pregnancy, maternal and fetal outcomes are widely affected by disease activity. Becoming pregnant can be advised if the disease is quiescent, with rapid and efficient management of possible flare-ups. Controlling IBD is the main factor for obstetrical prognosis in pregnancy.
