How old are most people when they're diagnosed with IBD?

  1. Most are diagnosed before or by the age of 30! I was exactly 30 when I was diagnosed!

  2. This really varies from what I understand. I was diagnosed at 13, but certainly had it earlier. One brother was diagnosed at 40, another at 30 and I have a grandpa diagnosed at 80. As you can see, it really can run the gamut. Hope this helps!
