Brief description Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) result in devastating consequences and affect more young Australians than epilepsy or road traffic accidents. Damaged bowel results in loss of the normal gut barrier and flora can enter the tissue and even the blood. This concept of the "leaky gut" has been previously difficult to demonstrate. This can now be seen and measured using two new technologies called proteomics and confocal endomicroscopy. These tests offer new avenues of research for the 61,000 Australian sufferers of IBD.
