Today is World IBD Day 💜
As the mother of a Crohns sufferer, I know that living with Inflammatory bowel disease isn’t “just another stomach issue”.
It can affect energy, confidence, sleep, stress levels and daily life in ways many people never see.
While reflexology doesn’t treat medical conditions, many people living with IBD find treatments offer a chance to properly relax, reset and support their wellbeing alongside medical care.
Gentle, calming and tailored to you on the day 💜
Today is World IBD Day 2026 💜
Did you know that IBD stands for inflammatory bowel disease? It includes Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and microscopic colitis — conditions that affect more than 10 million people worldwide.
Experts report that more young people, including children, are being diagnosed with IBD every year, and the numbers continue to rise. Many people still struggle to access the right treatment and support, with some only seeing specialists when symptoms become severe.
Crohn’s and Colitis can affect every part of life physically and emotionally, yet many people still do not understand how serious these conditions can be. That’s why raising awareness today matters so much.
Let’s keep this ribbon going for everyone living with IBD and for the families beside them. If you feel comfortable, share part of your story in the comments below 💜
