There's nothing better than hearing from others who are going through the same thing as you - whether it's practical problems, emotions or worries. The same goes for living with IBD (Crohn's and Colitis). For that reason, we're featuring guest blogs from young people who have got something to tell you about their lives. So far we've heard from Vicky and Sadie and we've got others coming up for you.
Is there something you'd like to share with other IBDers? Perhaps you'd like to reassure someone who's just been diagnosed or are just going through the diagnosis process yourself and want to share your experiences? Maybe you've lived with IBD for some time now and would like to offer some guidance on the day-to-day things that help you? Or maybe you want to share a funny story?!

A wise man said yesterday ... in reference to Angelina Jolie's brave decision to have a double mastectomy and go public with the news to raise awareness... that 20 years ago, breast cancer was a taboo. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (given its sensitive nature) is today's taboo. Let's hope that through initiatives like Me and IBD we will get our generation to be open and honest about bowels. First breasts, then bowels!
