You’re not alone, even if IBD sometimes makes it feel this way. There’s a whole world of people with IBD just like you waiting to connect and lend support.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or a seasoned vet, you can meet others who understand exactly what you’re going through because they’ve been there too.

Our mission is to empower people to live beyond their disease through compassion, support, and knowledge. From one-on-one chats to group discussions, we make connecting easy. We are a safe place to find and receive advice, seek and offer support, and discover the latest news and research updates curated just for you.
