Online Mindfulness Course for Pediatric IBD

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) can sometimes add stress to your life and that may affect your physical symptoms of pain and stool habits. In this study, we want to know if practicing mindfulness via an online Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) course taught by a trained teacher can help with your IBD.

Judith R. Kelsen, MD

Dr. Kelsen’s research focus is on the genetic, immunologic, and microbiomic causes of very early onset inflammatory bowel disease. Through a multidisciplinary team approach, Dr. Kelsen and her colleagues perform genetic sequencing to identify causative genetic variants in children with VEO-IBD, study the function of these variants, and use this information to improve the clinical outcomes for these children.
