Restroom Access

People living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis often suffer from debilitating urgency to use a restroom immediately, or risk having an embarrassing accident. This causes many IBD patients to worry about whether they will have access to a restroom in public. Unfortunately, not all public establishments have public restrooms available, and there have been incidents in which IBD patients have been denied access to employee or customer-only restrooms.

Help Pass a Local Restroom Access Law in Your Community

Your local city county or county commission has the ability to provide a tax incentive for businesses in your community that provide access to their restrooms.  

All it takes is a volunteer like you to lead the way. We have created a toolkit that provides all the resources you need to convince your local officials to pass a local restroom access law. 

Together, we can help provide IBD patients, and others, with the confidence they need when they go out in public, secure in the knowledge that they will be able to find a restroom nearby if they need it.
