This was an amazing education. This helps me so much. But it lacks Probiotic with IBD and for Preventive Pouchitis

It would be great of you could search activities by categories instead of just by specialty. AANP allows you to pick topics such as "health promotion" or "preventive care." Also, it would be nice if you could "like" and activity and be able to do it later.
