Living with Crohn’s or Colitis means making calls every day—what to eat, when to rest, whether to push through or pause.

It takes courage to self-manage a condition that doesn’t always play by the rules. And in the My IBD Care community, we see that kind of courage all the time.

From tracking symptoms to learning what works (and what really doesn’t), you’re doing the hard, everyday work of looking after yourself. That deserves recognition.

💜 Today, and every day, we see you. And we’re with you.
