TAKE ACTION FOR

WORLD IBD DAY

MAY 19, 2023

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.
