Spreading the word through Social Media

 (or "so-shal meeja" as trendy people pronounce it)....

We're lucky here because we get people writing to us asking to write guest posts and sometimes we look at other IBD blogs and badger the writers to write us something. It all works really well because we post something, they post something and lots of people get to see real stories about life with Crohn's or Ulcerative Colitis.

One example is Ben, our guest blogger from Monday 13th May who  has a dinosaur onesie (oh and Crohn's). He talked about learning who your real friends are when you have IBD. A very good point and a well written article - read it here

Ben then wrote on his own blog - the awesome MeAndMyCrohns and tweeted about it - @MrAwesomeBen. And lots of people read it.

It's so simple but so effective. So if you're reading this blog and thinking "That's interesting"... share it. Someone else probably will find it helpful too.

You're welcome!
