Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Week, aims to educate people about the symptoms, causes, and ways to manage Crohn’s disease and colitis. The main reason for raising awareness is because the symptoms are quite common and are easily confused with other diseases and medical problems, resulting in people not receiving the right medical treatment in time.

Our goals are to share stories, cultivate strong community, provide the latest medical findings, connect people and pioneer production of patient worthy information. Help us attain these goals by telling us a little bit about yourself!
