IBD DAY





IT'S WORLD IBD DAY!!

So today is the 19th of May, and that means one thing, IBD day. This is more than just a day to raise awareness for Inflammatory bowel disease, this is a day where people like me can share our stories, journeys and experiences with others who understand and have probably gone through similar situations. Today helps me alot. It allows me to talk to other IBDers without any stigma. It allows me to share photos and stories about my journey, without any stigma. It's great. I know it shouldn't take a special day to be able to do those things, and in many ways it doesn't, I talk about Crohn's a fair amount, but IBD day let's me not worry about people being weirded or completely grossed by the subject matter!

This is my day, I can talk about as much poo as I want to!

Today is about everyone with IBD. Today is about everyone who has had backlash, rude comments made about their illness, dirty looks from coming out of the disabled toilets, the oist goes on. 

TODAY IS FOR YOU.

So happy IBD day, love your Crohn's and Colitis, wear it with pride, be proud of you, you're doing a great job.
