Together, Let's Create a Gut Friendly World
More than 10 million people worldwide live with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, also known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Not every IBD patient around the world has a resource to help with dietary needs, restroom access, or information about their disease. This World IBD Day, join the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation as we take action to create a Gut Friendly World for those living with these debilitating and chronic digestive diseases.
You can help create a Gut Friendly World.

Your donation will help the Foundation continue to make the world more gut friendly by advancing IBD research and critically needed patient programs! SPECIAL OFFER: Donate $50 or more to receive an exclusive World IBD Day apron to help you prepare gut friendly meals all year long.
