Researchers are collecting and storing blood, stool, and urine samples and medical information to better understand Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) to improve disease outcome.
Subjects will be sent a letter detailing the proposed biobank and soliciting enrollment. Following the informed consent process, subjects will provide a blood sample (50 ml), urine sample (50 ml), and stool. The blood and urine samples will either be collected at the one of the Mayo Clinic outpatient laboratories or by a mail-out kit. Subjects will be asked to complete a questionnaire and 24-hour food recall questionnaire (completed online).
