IBD Community

Fighting IBD Naturally

Others Fighting IBD Naturally

There is an amazing community of people living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis) each of which must decide, in partnership with their care team, how to best manage their unique circumstances. The goal with this community is to highlight the stories of people who are either advocating for or are implementing lifestyle changes in addition to the use of traditional medicine for IBD. There is so much we can learn from each other’s experiences!
