Bio Repository

The purpose of this research study is to collect different types of samples (such as stool, swabs, urine) to form a biorepository. This repository will provide valuable samples from people with and without IBD so that investigators can learn more about the cause of IBD, and different therapies that could be used to treat it. These samples will be used for future gastrointestinal research. Because technology and scientific understanding may advance quickly, it is not yet known what specific studies the samples may be used for.
