Living with IBD can be a struggle. Talking about it shouldn’t be.
IBD is uncomfortable to talk about — but not as uncomfortable as it is to live with it every day.
IBD affects nearly one in 100 people in the U.S., yet most people don’t really know much about it and see it only as a “bathroom disease.” But we know it’s much more.
Our Let’s Go There campaign is bringing real conversations about living with IBD into the open. Let’s break the silence around IBD, one story at a time.
When it comes to IBD, there’s no such thing as TMI.
Join our growing community that is going there with us to share their stories of what it’s like to live with IBD — the anxiety, chronic pain, struggles with eating...whatever your personal experience is — and how you stay hopeful and resilient in the tough moments.
