Crohn’s disease and colitis are often invisible to the outside world but they deeply impact on the daily life of sufferers.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is not just a stomach ache; it’s fatigue, uncertainty, flare-ups, strict diets, hospital visits, and strength that often goes unseen. Sharing awareness and showing compassion can help support Crohn’s and colitis sufferers.
