April is #IBS Awareness Month. There's lots of confusion around #IBD & IBS, so we wanted to take some time to share the facts. Check out our infographic to see all the ways IBS and IBD differ, and learn more on our website: https://t.co/KHacbiHtD1

Did you know that April is National Minority Health Month? Throughout the month, we'll be sharing patient stories and information about how #IBD affects minority populations. Here's the first story- Amy & Terrell: https://t.co/BHC8H0eHwH

Scientists recently reported that a specific type of bacteria, previously shown to be associated with #IBD and #colorectalcancer, can enable the development and dissemination of #CRC.

Today's #MotivationMonday comes from YouTube sensation @RebeccaZamolo. 3 years ago, Rebecca released a documentary chronicling life w/ #UC & and her experience undergoing surgery to remove her colon. You can watch it now on YouTube: https://t.co/0EO6V5vxP8 #IBD

"As anyone with a #chronicillness knows, talking about your health—and fielding the resultant questions—can be an exhausting, vulnerable act. I’d told a few loved ones I was in the hospital, but most people I knew didn’t even realize I had #Crohns." https://t.co/XmcxYujyFr

Good bowel prep allows your doctor to thoroughly examine your colon and rectum and find early signs of #colorectalcancer or pre-cancer. Check out our infographic for some tips to help make prep a little more tolerable: https://t.co/tCmkQOt4bC #tomorrowcantwait

Raise your hand if you enjoy prepping for a colonoscopy! No one? Although unenjoyable, colonoscopy prep is important. Colonoscopies are used not only to monitor disease activity but also to detect #colorectalcancer or precancerous changes in your colon and/or rectum.
