Leading the way for millions of patients through research, education, and support
Our mission
Diet and nutrition
Living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) means paying special attention to what you eat. Maintaining good nutrition can be a balancing act. Learn how to stay on the right track.
Mental and emotional well-being
When living with IBD, people may experience difficult times where they feel limited in what they can do, who they can have relationships with, and how they live their lives.
Uniting to Care & Cure
Over 250,000 patients engaged in our live and web support programs
We are increasing support and education for our patients and caregivers in the effort to build resiliency and further empower them to take charge of their care. These are essential elements for wellness.
