Who are we?
We are parents of children and teens with IBD (inflammatory Bowel Disease). Our aim is to provide information and raise awareness of this disease rapidly increasing in Ireland. As a community let’s make a difference for our kids with this lifelong disease.
Yes 450 kids/teens live with IBD in Ireland…
Both UC (ulcerative colitis) and CD (crohn’s disease) are rare in early childhood but occur with increasing frequency as the ‘teens’ approach…
IBS is not IBD, but it’s uncomfortable too!
Maybe you just have a tummy ache. Sometimes when adults and children get worried about something…
There is no cure, IBD is a life long disease!
Doctors are working on it, but with medicines and nutrition it is possible to keep the disease under control.
