About Us

Me and IBD has been set up by the national patient charity Crohn's and Colitis UK as part of its 2013 campaign, focusing on young  people (aged around 16-29) with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD: Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis).

As well as a survey of its members, which has now closed, there is a dedicated microsite for young people to visit for more information and support. 

The site is packed with videos, stories, information and news - the kind of stuff that's really useful for young people who have just been diagnosed with Crohn's or Colitis, or those who are still coming to terms with living with IBD.
