Specific pollutants and environmental exposures are implicated in modulating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) risk. Crohn’s disease (CD) clustering has been reported in agricultural areas…

The strongest independent risk factor for developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a family history with IBD. The early life, including the intra-uterine period, is critical for immune system maturation and therefore, exposures during early life can influence IBD risk…
