One of the main challenges of living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease is the unpredictability of it all 💜

@bottomlineibd Lovely photo. Heres hoping the juice makes you feel better soon.

[Colitis and Crohn's HQ @ColitisCrohnsHQ]

People without IBD may not fully understand how much mental energy goes into simply feeling “safe.”

You map bathrooms. Think differently about food, traffic, travel, social events.

Even when symptoms improve, the hypervigilance can linger.

💜 Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is very different to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), though people easily confuse the two 🥴 (Living with any bowel disease can be challenging, so always be kind!)

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (#Crohns Disease/ Ulcerative #Colitis / #IBD) is so much more than 'just a bathroom disease'. It's...
- Pain
- Urgency
- Fatigue
- Cramping
- Fistulas (small connecting tunnels)
- Diarrhoea
- Strictures (narrowings)
- Constipation
- Passing blood
- Nausea or vomiting
- Mucus in stools (jelly-like strands)
- Weight loss
- Fevers
- Anaemia (a lack of healthy red blood cells)
- Mouth ulcers
- Joint pain
- Eye inflammation
- Loss of appetite
And so much more!
