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.

Did you know that 1 in 120 people suffers from Crohn’s disease and colitis? Inflammatory bowel disease can cause a range of symptoms, such as:
Diarrhoea
Blood or mucus in your poo
Stomach pain
Feeling very tired or generally unwell

If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms over a prolonged period, it’s worth making an appointment to speak to your GP.
