A place for you, and the people beside you.

a little more understood.

What is an IBD community?

An IBD community connects people living with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, and those supporting them, with shared experience and useful resources. Communities can take the form of local groups, moderated online discussions or an email resource like this one.

Start with connection.

Join our email community for useful information and practical resources. You can choose everyday-life topics, research explainers, or both.

Looking for a conversation with others? Established support organizations can help you find groups and additional resources.

This website does not currently operate a live chat, patient forum, or continuously monitored support service.
