We presented experience with spa treatment of Crohn's disease at the Patients IBD conference

On August 21, 2025, we took part in a conference for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), held in Karlovy Vary at the Hotel Kriváň and organized by the association Patients IBD.

On our behalf, MUDr. Ladislav Špišák, CSc., Chairman of the Council, spoke and presented experience with the spa treatment of patients with Crohn's disease. He focused on the significance of drinking cures and the effect of minerals on the gastrointestinal system. The presentation also included two case studies with specific laboratory and anamnestic data documenting the positive results of spa treatment. In the conclusion of his presentation, he summarized the experience of treating gastroenterological patients in a spa environment, primarily in Karlovy Vary.

The Patients IBD association brings together people with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, providing them with support and working to improve their quality of life. It organizes educational seminars and conferences, publishes patient materials, and carries out projects that help patients in their everyday lives (such as the mobile app IBD Under Control or the WC Card). It is also a member of the European Federation of Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis Associations (EFCCA). Conferences such as the one in Karlovy Vary are one of the ways to share up-to-date information on treatment options and support.
