Janssen Biotech, Inc. of Horsham and the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America have launched Get Your Full Course, an educational campaign designed to provide nutrition and therapy resources for people living with inflammatory bowel diseases.

Get Your Full Course features television host and celebrity cook Sunny Anderson, who is speaking publicly for the first time about her journey with UC.  Approximately 1.4 million Americans (1 in 200 people) deal with inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

“Having lived with UC for more than 20 years, I recognize the importance of talking more openly about the disease and educating people with IBD that we don’t have to shy away from food because of our disease,” said Anderson. “Food is a big part of my life. I am excited about Get Your Full Course and its focus on helping the IBD community learn about foods we can enjoy that are also rich in the nutrients we sometimes lack due to the way the disease affects the intestines.”

Her recipes and exclusive cooking demonstrations are featured here.

Janssen Biotech, Inc. is working to redefine the standard of care in immunology, oncology, urology, and nephrology. The firm manufactures several drugs for colitis and Crohn’s disease.
