Reply to "What Are The Chances Our Children Get IBD?"

Jan DollarModerator, RN, retired

The latest data appears to be about 3-16% lifetime risk, depending on the IBD type and ethnic background if one parent has IBD. If both parents have IBD the risk goes way up to 33-52%. My husband did not have UC when we married, but developed it about 15 years after we started our family. Both of our sons have UC.

Regardless of what you were once told, this is the current information.
