New treatment option approved for kids with Crohn’s disease:

The FDA has approved STELARA® (ustekinumab) for children ages 2+ with moderate to severe Crohn’s—meaning more treatment options for families who need them. Until now, just three biologics were approved for pediatric patients, compared to more than a dozen for adults. For comprehensive information on IBD medications, including these new options, check out our IBD Medication Guide, designed to help you make informed decisions about your treatment in partnership with your healthcare team: https://bit.ly/4khMzbV

Did you know that people with IBD are three to five times more likely to experience anxiety and two to four times more likely to experience depression than the general population? These challenges— including stigma, pain, and fatigue—are often invisible, but they can be a major part of life with IBD.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and it’s a powerful time to stand with the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation in supporting the mental and emotional well-being of everyone affected by IBD.

Visit our World IBD Day page to download our free More Than the Gut Guide and explore evidence-based tools and stories from the IBD community to help you navigate stress, relationships, and pain while living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. https://bit.ly/41xGCjb

Barriers to IBD care are real—and our community is speaking up.

For National Minority Health Month, we polled our community asking: what’s the biggest barrier to care? From cost and insurance to finding specialists, transportation, and trust in the system, these challenges impact too many people living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

Hear from our Foundation social media ambassador, Kaylaa’ White, as she shares the results and why pushing for more equitable, accessible care matters.

Thank you to our sponsor, AbbVie. .
