Information relating to symptoms and ways in which inflammatory bowel disease affects those that have been diagnosed with it
Yesterday was the end of #IBDAwarenessWeek.
I was diagnosed with #CrohnsDisease over 20 years ago, right in the middle of my GSCE exams.
I'm so lucky to have an amazing support network, as it can be really tough.
It affects my relationship, friendships, and work, but I won't let it define me...
Day 6 of IBD, Colitis & Crohns Week #IBDAwarenessWeek!
Always my fav bc it’s my birthday. Despite Crohn's, I make it a point to have fun while knowing IBD doesn't have to slow me. I'll eat cake & ice cream, but I'll do it in moderation to not set me off! Thanks for the love @pcathletics.bsky.social
Day 5 of IBD, Colitis & Crohns Awareness Week #IBDAwarenessWeek!
The biologic I use every 2 months to help manage my Crohn's is Stelara. Humira failed me, now my symptoms died down - thank goodness! Management allowed me to play pro basketball for 20 years!

Day 4 of IBD, Colitis & Crohns Awareness Week #IBDAwarenessWeek!
Exercise is an important part of my lifestyle & helps me control my Crohn's disease. However, exercise + diet + Stelara injections allow me to have an active lifestyle while keeping me in remission

It's #IBDAwarenessWeek! IBD can impact more than the digestive tract. IBD can sometimes feel isolating for patients. Symptoms of anxiety, depression, etc are common. Resources and support are available! 1/3

an image that reads IBDMoms Celebrates in a half circle over a sketched large intestine that is hugged by a purple ribbon that says Crohn's & Colitis Awareness Week December 1-7th. Behind the large intestine is a bouquet of flowers that are mostly pinks, purples and reds. This is on top of a white circle that sits on a taupe background with a black border. The IBDMoms logo is in the far right bottom corner.
The following text is enclosed in a gray thin square border on a white square background that sits on a taupe background with a black border and the IBDMoms logo in the far right bottom corner: Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week is more than just a time to educate others about inflammatory bowel disease; it’s a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience within the IBD community. This week allows us to shine a light on the realities of living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis—conditions that are often invisible but life-altering. By sharing our stories, we help break the stigma, advocate for better care, and foster understanding. For IBDMoms, it’s a chance to amplify the voices of moms navigating motherhood alongside chronic illness, reminding the world why awareness and support are vital for improving lives and driving change in the healthcare system.
The following text is enclosed in a gray thin square border on a white square background that sits on a taupe background with a black border and the IBDMoms logo in the far right bottom corner: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a term used to describe chronic inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and indeterminate colitis—a form of IBD where it’s unclear if the inflammation is characteristic of Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis. In the United States, over 3.1 million people live with IBD, and nearly half of them are women. These diseases can affect every aspect of daily life, from managing symptoms like abdominal pain, fatigue, and urgent bowel movements to navigating the emotional toll of living with a chronic, unpredictable illness. For moms, the challenge is even greater as they balance their health with the demands of caregiving. At IBDMoms, we understand that IBD doesn’t just impact your body; it can influence your work, social life, and ability to fully engage in family activities. That’s why we’re here to offer support, advocacy, and community every step of the way.
The following text is enclosed in a gray thin square border on a white square background that sits on a taupe background with a black border and the IBDMoms logo in the far right bottom corner: 10 Signs You May Be Having An IBD Flare: 1. Increased Abdominal Pain or Cramping 2. Frequent or Urgent Bowel Movements 3. Blood in Stool 4. Severe Fatigue 5. Loss of Appetite and Unintended Weight Loss 6. Nausea or Vomiting 7. Fever Without Infection 8. Joint Pain or Swelling 9. Persistent or New Skin Issues 10. Changes in Medication Effectiveness
It’s Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week! 💜 Over 3.1M in the U.S. live with IBD, nearly half are women—many from marginalized communities. #IBDMoms #CCAwarenessWeek #IBDAwarenessWeek
