We monitor for reactions and provide pre-medications. Most insurance plans cover infliximab at BGC.

While stress doesn't cause IBD, it can trigger flares and worsen symptoms by affecting the immune system and gut function. The gut-brain connection means emotional stress can increase inflammation and alter gut motility. Effective stress management techniques include regular exercise, meditation, yoga, counseling, adequate sleep, and social support. Some patients benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy or stress reduction programs. Managing stress is an important part of comprehensive IBD care alongside medical treatment.
