World IBD Day

It's Time To Savor Life With IBD: Let's Go There.

World IBD Day takes place each year on May 19, and unites people worldwide to take action and raise awareness about this disease. This year, we're putting the spotlight on one of the biggest challenges of living with IBD: diet and nutrition.

For many, food and travel bring joy, connection, and culture — but for those living with IBD, these experiences can come with anxiety, isolation, and stress. Let's go there and talk about the real struggles — from navigating trigger foods to missing out on adventures and everyday moments due to symptoms.

That's why we created the Global Gut Guide — to help make food, travel, and daily life feel a little less overwhelming, and a lot more doable. Sign up below!

Food, Fear, and Finding Confidence: Victoria’s Story

For Victoria Tyler, food is deeply tied to culture, but living with ulcerative colitis and an ostomy changed her relationship with eating. "Food is such a huge part of my culture, but with IBD, I've had to navigate which traditional dishes I can still enjoy without triggering a flare." Watch Victoria’s story and join her in speaking up about the realities of IBD.

The Conversations That Bring Us Together

IBD affects millions, but no one should navigate it alone. These voices remind us why awareness, connection, and support are critical in building a stronger community.

Casey Phillips

"Having IBD makes me really appreciate food as fuel and increases my motivation to make the right choices for my body. Eating with IBD in mind has helped me make much healthier choices that could help me live a longer and healthier life than I might have otherwise."

Danny Joseph

"The diagnosis actually led me to music again… There’s still a long way to go, living with a lifelong chronic condition that is incurable. But I’m here, ready, and thankful for a second chance at life again."

Ian Goldstein

“I feel like a child when I have to tell waiters I can't have raw vegetables in my food due to diet and fear of bowel obstruction – it's frustrating knowing that raw fruits, vegetables, beans, and legumes are amazing for helping your immune system, yet those are the foods I have to be most careful with.”
